Con Rod Bolts

[haggis]

Hi everyone, having a bit of a wobble with my engine rebuild i'm undertaking at the moment, I have purchased a new set of con rod bolts and accidentaly torqued them up to the mains torque wrench settings 55 to 60b/ft. Now I undid them the next day and they all torqued up nicely to the correct settings 36 - 42 lb-ft, do I have anything to worry about? or should they be replaced?

 

Thanks

Hag

i would think youre ok, if you had a torque to yeild meter it would probably tell you that something much higher than the book values being based on older values.

Thanks Pete, you put my mind to rest, I can paint it now and get if off the stand.
