i'm used to pulling these apart, and some bolts are tigher than others, but last night i pulled apart a 0 mile reman, and it seemed like some of the bolts were looser than others.
is this normal at all? engine's never been started

Ito told me to chase the threads because of garbage issue that would lead to torque problems.So I guess if reman was torqued with garbge or bad threads that could release load over time as the tension wore on it. Meaning false torque load at assembly.

yah they prolly didnt chase the threads, and the bolts were torqued dry, the tension bolt seals were all screwed up
