    Torque vs Clamp Load Explained: The Truth About Torque Wrenches in Racing Engines

    Are torque specs really telling you the full story?In this EPARTRADE Race Industry Now technical webinar, Shannon Strother (P1 Manufacturing) and Chuck Lynch (AERA – Automotive Engine Rebuilders Association) break down the real relationship between torque input, clamp load, and friction in high-performance racing engines.Most engine builders rely on torque as a measurement, but the reality is far more complex. Up to 90% of applied torque is lost to friction, meaning the actual clamp load can vary significantly depending on lubrication, coatings, and surface conditions.This deep dive covers:Why torque is only an indirect indicator of clamp loadHow friction impacts fastener performance and reliabilityThe role of coatings and lubrication in consistencyTorque vs tension: understanding what really mattersAdvanced methods like torque-angle and direct bolt measurementHow improper clamp load leads to engine failuresIf you are building, tuning, or engineering racing engines, this is critical knowledge that directly impacts performance, durability, and repeatability.Featuring:Shannon Strother, Director of Future Technology, P1 ManufacturingChuck Lynch, Vice President of Technical Service, AERAHosted by Brad Gillie (SiriusXM, Ch. 90 Late Shift)Presented by ARP, Inc., PEAK, Fifth Third Bank Motorsports, Ferrea Racing Components, Crower, CTech Manufacturing, & Race-Fan.#TorqueWrench #ClampLoad #EngineBuilding #RacingEngines #Fasteners #MotorsportsEngineering #EngineTech #PerformanceEngineering #AERA #P1Manufacturing
