first real shift at work tonight

90% of the time the bolts you need to worry about stretching are the same bolts ARP makes replacements for. ARP is not making oil pan bolts for a reason.

Not to mention:

Bolt stretching according Hook's Law can be expressed as

dl = F L / E A

where

dl = change in length of bolt (inches, mm)

F = applied tensile load (lb, kN)

L = effective length of bolt where tensile strength is applied (inches, mm)

E = Young's Modulus of Elasticity (psi, N/mm2)

A = tensile stress area of bolt (square inches, mm2)

Tensile stress area can be expressed as

A = 0.7854 (d - 0.9743 / n)^2

where

d = nominal diameter of bolt (inches, mm)

n = number of threads per inch (pitch)



So if you figure a bolt being m6x20 at 1 pitch you can figure this out

F = Typical Torque for an oilpan bolt = 10.5 N-m (10500 N-mm)
L = 20mm
E = Based on SAE 5 which I know is not correct but its close and its what I could easily find = 30psi (206842.7 N/mm^2)
d = 5mm
n = 25.4 threads per inch

dl = 10500(20) / 206842.7(.7854(5-.9743/25.4)^2)

dl = 210000 / 206842.7(.7854(5-.0384)^2)

dl = 210000 / 206842.7(.7854(4.961)^2)

dl = 210000 / 206842.7(.7854(24.618))

dl = 210000 / 206842.7(19.335)

dl = 210000 / 3999280.804

Change in Length (Stretch) = .053mm

So literally your talking .053mm of stretch, I am pretty sure thats why they make gaskets

Science b1tches YEAH !!!

Complete shot in the dark but does anyone have a trailer that I can borrow/rent to bring home a shell? I'm located in Spring Valley and I just need to tow the car like 1 mile ,__,

if its only one mile i would just tie that shit up to a pick up and have someone steer and brake as you get pulled.

Sup people.

[XwalkerX]

leaving work 30 min early to go to garagistic to pick up my obc led light bar and wire cup holder.

then hopefully my new diff will be ready for pickup from fedex and i can change the fluid and get the obc light in tonight and tomorrow get the new diff in and my new shift boots should arrive tomorrow afternoon.

then taking the ole girl to get a/c next week.

Hello everyone new to the board and in the market for a clean E30. If you know any one around San Diego sale let me know.

Thanks but I actually don't have facebook. Forums already eat up to much of my time.:)

Was just a suggestion for local sales but,...... hey good luck.
