Nothing wrong with using converter bolts over if they are cleaned and locktighted. I choose not to do that for a reason because they strech and will shear off. I get payed well to do what I do and people expect the best of my ability. They deserve a set of new 6.00 dollar bolts.
As far as your apology; you are full of shit. you meant every word and that is fine with me, just don't hide it. If you have a difference in opinion, state it. Let the members decide how they will use the info. That's what this board is all about.

a little harsh don't you think? anyways i don't need to hide anything, i consider myself a pretty honest person. if i wouldn't have meant it, i wouldn't have said it. i appreciate your being straight forward with me though mike. as long as he got the information he was looking for thats all that matters.

If the bolts weren't over torqued they are not stretched or yielded, but I agree with what your saying. $6 is pretty cheap for a little piece of mind.

If you knew the relationship of a 75 pound converter and a crankshaft with a high hp engine, and what happens then, you would know it has nothing to do with over tightening. I will not give any other information here on this subject.

You guys are correct..i called Suncoast to confirm the converters arrival on friday and the guy said a new set of bolts were provided. Thanks to all that helped me here.
