You are correct. The 15-16 range sounds about right if memory serves
(actually the range is 16-18 ). But certainly no where near 155 ft lb.

I have the one of the cams off of my 1982 Spider off and in reading my
service
manual, the torque tightening specificaion reads:
"20-22 newton-meters or 155-163 ft. lbs." I assume there is a decimal
point
missing, 155-163 ft. lbs of torque on one of those bearing cap seems like
over-kill and them some, but I wanted to conform that the tightening
spec. is
more like 15-16 ft. lbs which would be the ft. lb equivalent of 20-22
newton
meters. From my perspective 15-16 ft. lbs seems a little light. Can
someone
confirm the torque specification on the camshaft bearing cap bolts of a
two
liter Spider engine.
Thanks very much!
