Arch as a matter of fact a bolt is not a bolt. Ever hear of grades of
bolts? A grade 3 and a grade 8 bolt have vastly different torques,shear and
tensile strengths. And it depends on what the bolt is being used for or what
it is fastening. Same bolt connected to the GMC steel and Alcoa wheels are
torqued entirely different. Torque the Alcoa to 250 ft lbs Arch and see
what happens! Yep thats your logic I am using.
Sometimes your logic is scary Arch since you think that you can apply your
fence wire and vise grip repair ideas to everything including the GMC.
Ain't so! And than you go on to make these stupid cutting comments about
ones character and why they are doing something. My motivation is simple
Arch, I am a professional engineer and have been trained to be sensitive to
such things. I spent a lot of time studying strength of materials, statics
and dynamics.
Ideas and comments like yours are going to get someone killed. I would
suggest that in the future you engage your brain before making these comments.
By the way Arch just so you know I am not the only one that thinks this way
I have provided a commercial link for you to read. Don't suppose that will
convince you either but at least it will give others that read this a little
confidence in NOT OILING BOLT THREADS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT THE NEW TORQUE IS
GOING TO BE!
