The theory behind torquing fasteners is to place the fastener in tension,to actually stretch the fastener to yield. Grade 8 phosphate coated fasteners are the standard of the engine industry, and are used in varying dimensions and torqued to a specification predicated by the dimension.Grade 8 design is harder than grade 5,less tolerant of shear,but more tolerant of tension.
