The previous product listing stated 45 ft-lbs. However, the supplied instruction sheet lists 45 ft-lbs with ARP lube for 3/8-16 fasteners, not the 3/8-24 UNF thread listed for this kit. The sheet does not provide a 3/8-24 torque specification. Confirm the correct torque and lubricant requirements for RTS-TC38BOLTGM directly with RTS/ARP before tightening; do not assume the 3/8-16 specification applies.
