I think you might have something there. A malfunction of all the people complaining on here. I will admit I have not read every post but I bet you guys are burying world over something that is not even a valid problem on their part.
that's a strange way of looking at things. World supplied the block, the fasteners and the spec sheet. are you suggesting that every person that has had issues with the supplied studs either over torqued them, or somehow made them magically stretch like silly putty why??? i guess the problem is now solved. nobody knows how to properly assemble an engine. amazing...
