Crankcase torque spec

squelchy451 · 05-04-2022, 01:38 PM

I was an idiot and removed one of the crankcase bolts instead of the one holding up the water pump (as well as one of the AC Compressor bolts). The AC compressor bolts I can easily get but not the crankcase bolts...I ended up getting a full set of those bolts.

Does anyone know what the torque spec would be? It came out pretty easy so I might just snug it up and check on it periodically

you will need a new bolt - these are TTY bolts, so you can't re-use them.

I don't know it off the top of my head, but it will be an nominal torque value first (to start the stretch) and then 1 or 2 additional angle turns to set the final bolt stretch.

the bottom half of the block supports the crank so it's a pretty important bolt.
