snw blue by you Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Late '04 550, 37,800 miles. 2000 since FQR 6.0 install at another dealer. Starts normal when cold runs good for awile, stalls, then long crank or even no start. Quality is job none.... Remember there is only 2K on this rebuild. Dummies didn't torque down the tube bolts, they were finger tight. Just thought you'd like to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekanik Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Wow, I can't believe that is only from 2000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 If the bolts were only finger tight, I don't see how it made it 2000 miles???? I think that they were tightened but not torqued, and shook themselves loose. Could be another reason to open a thread on the value of the "TORQUE WRENCH" /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snw blue by you Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 True enough Larry. However, this was an FQR long block which comes with the HPOP. Maybe I'm wrong but you would think there is a calibrated air or electric wrench for just these bolts. It was either missed alltogether or there is an issue with the rebuilder's wrench.
