torxxx Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 I havent ever Torx'd anything on my car. I just do it by feel and the size of the bolt/nut that I am tightening. tighten it till it almost snaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 i dont tighten it quite that much. Usually the really important things to be tight, aka crank pully, need to be tight as a mo-fo. Other things...just past snug...except for the turob bolts and nuts, which are just snug. Otherwise...they seize and break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 14.8 ft/lbs is the high end of spec, which I would recommend going to for this part to avoid future leaks. Do I count as a soob addict if I "just happen to have" an FSM sitting within reach of my computer chair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Snowman, that is a great comment "Do I count as a soob addict if I "just happen to have" an FSM sitting within reach of my computer chair?"
