Hey guys, I try and avoid stuff like this, but just to clarify..... you keep posting 14" lbs.... that would mean inch pounds no? ' is foot, " is inch..... if it happened at 6 inch pounds there had to be something seriously compromised with that half of the joint like an underlying crack from broaching or something? Thats nuts, good thing it happened in the shop.

I don't doubt it happened, we have seen failures in almost everything over the years right? It can happen to the best of things, from our small market of parts in the hot rod world, up to parts on commercial airliners, or ignitions in mass produced cars..... I know its a safety concern, and Im not brushing off the severity of this.

M 2 cents is, we have been using Flaming river on everything and have had no issues that I can relate to the product.... Ive asked the joints to do some angles they dont like, and had some binding, but never anything like that. Looking at the billet joints,from a production standpoint I can't understand how that happened, unless it was related to the broaching process. Hopefully it gets corrected.
