coming live from my garager puter

i am in the middle of doing cam seals and oil pump seals

and can't find my book

what do i torque the cam keepers to and the oil pump bolts

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

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!

i have a tendancy to underestimate how much power i put on a ratchet and break stuff... even with short ratchets

but anyways its done just got a few things to do in the morning

 

thanx for the tips

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?

Snowman, that is a great comment
