[QUOTE="mudpack, post: 1412390, member: 99293"] If threads have been deformed enough for you to visually detect it, they will no longer accept full tightning torque. Since they will no longer perform the task for which they were designed, i.e.will not carry full design loads, they are of no use. One might describe them as "stretched", but to me stretched implies "still somewhat useable". I do not consider a fastener that will no longer carry its design load as useable, so I prefer the term "pulled", which implies that they need to be "replaced before use". I suppose on paper it's all semantics. Bottom line: use an accurate torque wrench. If the fastener won't accept full prescribed torque, replace the component(s) that have damaged threads. I hope we haven't made this appear to be more complex than it really is. [/QUOTE]
