[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 11942834, member: 6247"] If that's what MM told you to torque them to, I would suggest you contact them and tell them that is incorrect. :dw: 76# is the torque for the OEM 12mm bolts. :read: At the bottom of our installation tips and photos page we have a torque listing of IRS fasteners: [url=http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/installation.htm]Installation Photos and Tips[/url] As you can see, the 14mm bolt (which BTW is more costly than the 9/16" bolt we offer) has a lower torque value than the 9/16" grade 8 bolt. The 14mm bolt requires a torque value of 131 ft. lbs. The 9/16" bolt requires a torque value of 145 ft. lbs. This is because the 9/16" grade 8 bolt has a larger diameter and is a stronger bolt. Not to mention, it's less expensive which is why we chose to use it instead of the 14mm version. We like saving our customers their hard earned money. :idea: There is only one plug on the back side of the Ford Racing cover approximately two thirds up from the bottom. This is approximately the same location as your OEM cover fill hole. That's your fill plug. Hopefully the above information answers your questions. :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
