[v.13.1] 

Please Note* This document is intended for IAG Short Blocks that shipped between 4-11-2018 to 4-19-2018. If your block shipped prior to these dates or after 
these dates different torque specs are required and there are supporting documents available with those specs.

U

Case Bolts

U

 - The case bolt flange diameter should be 

.745”. If the case bolt flange diameter is larger, the flange 

will need to be ground down to spec.  Be careful not to 

damage the closed deck plug threads when 

installing/torqueing the case bolts.

U

 Plug Install 

U

– Each plug has a location identifier 

machined into it that corresponds to the deck surface. 

Please make sure to install the plug into the correct deck 

hole. Example (L1 plug installs in L1 deck location). Each 

plug is pre-lubed with a moly lubricant. This should be 

adequate to reinstall unless the plug holes or plugs were 

cleaned and lube has been removed. The plugs will start 

and install by hand, requiring no effort until seating in the 

block.  

*IF 

U

ANY

U

 RESISTANCE IS FELT - ** STOP **  

 

If you experience resistance, back out the insert and 

inspect the threads on both parts; clean the threads as 

needed. Reapply the moly lube and try installing it again. 

 

The Plug should sit nearly flush with the deck surface. 

Using a torque wrench tighten the plugs until the indicator 

line is collinear (lines up) to the line on the block deck 
surface.  This should require approximately 8-10 lb

ft of 

torque (no greater than 11) and the plug should be even 

with the decked surface.  

 

Acceptable Lubricants: 

-

 

ARP Moly Lube 

-

 

Loctite LB8012 Moly Paste
