dogman1955 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 :DHi, I'm a newbie to Subaru's and this web site.Can anyone tell me without being complicated what the the cam caps should be torqued to? My book says 70-90 inch lb,which is about 7.49 ft.lb doesn't sound right to me.I'm doing a head job with engine in car. Also my car has an automatic tranny ,can I turn the crankshaft to line up all the cam sprockets with the tranny in park or does it have to be in neutral? Any and all comments would be appreciated. Thanks, dogman1955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt167 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 If you have a factory manual. I would follow it. If you don't have a factory manual.. go here http://jdmfsm.info/Auto/Japan/Subaru you can turn it over in park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairtax4me Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 They're like m6 size bolts. 8 ft lbs More than that and you'll either strip the threads out of the head or snap the bolts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrinc Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In fact. 7.5 ft. lbs. is exactly what I've always used. Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
