Torque settings

[jackerthanjack]

Alright guys,
just another question anyone know the torque settings for the rockercover bolts as ive just changed me gasket and wanted to know the proper torque settin

[Nutter_John]

I think they are only 6ft/lbs , or was it 15ft/lbs which is not that tight at all

[jackerthanjack]

they didnt seem that tight when i changed it but im still gettin the smell of burning oil eg oil on the monifold. As the smells there shortly when i start it up then goes after a min or two

[Wodjno]

Think it's about 3ft/lbs /help

[Nick Mann]

It's basically screwdriver tight! Don't go using a 1/2" rachet!!

M8 is 25Nm in new money ( 15ft/lb will do as john said)
But if wet not clean and dry reduce by 25%
and get the helicoils ready for when the thread strips lol

cheers stu spot on

[Wodjno]

How much ?

[Nick Mann]

As Wodj has found, 3.4 Nm.

Please don't tighten them to 25 Nm!

[stuartturbo]

that is low lol.
They must be M5 or just a cautious M6 ( 5mm allen key or 10mm spanner)
I was getting mixed up with the inlet as that is M8 bolts

[Wodjno]

As i i said.. About 3ft/lbs /yes
