wrong forum, AND the 911 has 500lbs less weight on the nose (and of course 500lbs more on the rear) than any Vette made.

Static friction will yeild higher torque readings than dynamic friction, that's why you NEVER re-torque bolts without loosening them first. Also, heat cycling can change torque readings.


Makes nice office art, however
