Re: Cam tower tightening torque

[mark krawczuk]

hi, just strip em then back em of half a turn........................ seriously, just do em uo pretty tight  by hand. i dont think that it would matter  tooo much cause arent some head bolts goig  thru the cam toewers?    just use your own judgement , maybe if you have a  old head,  you could but a bolt in and tighten  it up till   it strips/or get a feel on  how tight to do it, or use a torque wrench on a bolt to correct  setting , then see if you can  tighten it up more, this  would  get you the feel  on how tight bolts should be...     the  ONLY time i  use a torque wrench is for the cylinder head, main caps and conrods, i remember one time i was re-ringing a engine in the car , and i couldnt  get a torque wrench on  a conrod so i just did it up pretty firm by hand...      mark k   ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel Kroehn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 11, 2001 8:56 PM Subject: Cam tower tightening torque Hey guys,   just wondering if anyone knows the torque figure for tightening the cam tower bolts on an L18/L20/Z20 etc.  They should be very similar if I'm not mistaken.  I checked my gregory's manual, genuine Datsun L14/16/18 manual and How to Hotrod your datsun with no results.    Just a little stuck at the moment   Cheers   Daniel Kroehn --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
