> The correct torque, as listed on page 118 of the Continental C85 > overhaul manual is 200 to 220 inch pounds. I don't think this is the correct application for this torque value. First off, the Continental manual specifies "Propellor hub bolts, which I always thought meant the hub that's used on a tapered shaft. Also, the value is consistent with the recommendation from Sensenich for wooden props (200 +/- 25 inch-lbs), although they prefer a method other than using a torque wrench to tighten the bolts on a wooden prop. (An Ercoupe bulletin trumps a Sensenich bulletin). Lastly, McCauley service bulletin #4 recommends 360 inch lbs for "Met-L-Prop" bolts.
