Fastener Torque Values [Merged 3-9] value tightness torques specs specifications

[GreddySpyder]

I changed my leaky oil pan gasket not long ago and it is still leaking. I used red rtv as the gasket and ran a nice continuous bead around the whole pan making a circle around each bolt hole. I think the two mistakes I made were not waiting for the RTV to dry before putting the pan back on, and I think I tightened the bolts too much ( I ended up breaking one of them).
I'm gonna buy a torque wrench and make sure they are right this time... how much torque do the pan bolts require? How long should I let the RTV dry this time before putting the pan back on?

Ok I've been making a list on my PC, and I'll post it up here. I'm nearly finished, just trying to make it easy to navigate to find TQ specs. reguarding; Year, model (AWD/FWD), ect...and making it alphebetical.

 

[DSMunknown]

As soon as I've got the info in my possession, I will post up some Evo torque specs that even us DSMers can use (trust me, you'll want to see these ).

 

[turboking15]

what would happen if you used that sequence on a 6 bolt?

 

[Husler005 TSi]

Just make sure you tighten em' enough so you seal the gasket. I did not "snug" them down enough allegedly and the ground electrode melted off from too much heat. I ended up with a hole in an exhaust valve and a $1000 repair bill. Thanks NGK

Could you post some pics of that valve with the hole through it. I'm sure i wouldnt be the only one to say that ive never seen a valve with a hole in it, but if you managed to do it i would like to see it. To the OP i agree with ngk's directions for tightning the spark plugs. Ive been doing it like that for 15 years There is nothing wrong with using a torque wrench. It is not overly anal as most of us like peace of mind when we drive our cars. Also practicing good garage habits is a must. If you let yourself slide you will just start cutting corners more and moreAlso this isnt steve's first campfire. When he speaks people should listen.

That wasn't from your spark plugs.

Hello, im going to throw my oil pump cover gasket on with my oil filter housing gasket. On a 1993 6bolt turbo block, I just need the torque specs for bolth. Also should i put a thin layer of copper gasket spray on them? Thank you.

 

[spoonman]

Oil pump cover is 132-156 inch lbs
oil filter housing is the same, I just put them on snug with a 6 inch wrench.

 

[4g63t]

Thank you, so that equals out to be about 12.5 foot pounds? use the copper spray or leave it as it is? they are oem gaskets

 

[spoonman]

I use copper spray but it is not needed, just an extra insurance from leaks.

 

[4g63t]

alright i have, done this before with topline gaskets without torquing and spray and it had a vary slow drip but just enough t0 get shit dirty once again thanks for the fast reply time to go install some things

 

[sniperelite]

Does anyone know what i should torque the 4 bolts that hold the crank pulley on down to on a 2g?

 

[snowborder714]

18 ft.lbs. is what I see in my users manual.

 

[sniperelite]

thank you very much sir....luckily i didn't tighten it to what I though it would be.... around 100ft/lbs

 

[98GSXtreme07]

Huh..That's interesting. 18ft/lbs. Thats what I torque my spark plugs too.

 

[blcknspo0ln]

Well the crank pulley bolts are only 8mmx1.25, one could only imagine how much you should torque those bolts down to. 18 ft/lb is plenty. The crank center nut is a whole different story, though.

 

[9920gGST]

Ive looked but havent got a definitive answer on this, besides everyone saying to go buy a book. Ive got a book somewhere, I just cant find it and need to know these specs fast

Its on a 99 GST 7 bolt

[9920gGST]

those seem to be 6 bolt specs....are they any different for a 7 bolt?

Hope this helps

[9920gGST]

alright, I appreciate it guys, I just wanted to make sure before I put this thing together and it not be right,
thanks

 

[lowandsleekDSM]

ok everyone im putting my motor back together and i did a little research here on tuners about torquing the arp studs into the block for my head. i just want to make sure.....80ft/lbs (with the moly lube - recommended by arp of course) for the studs AND nuts right? ### the directions say to just put them in hand tight and can i step torque the head studs to say...20-60-80? i just want to get this right thats all guys. thanx!

 

[btak]

Ya that sounds about right. i just put new bolts on my head and its holding up pretty solid. just make sure to do it steps like you said i think i did mine to 85. Just look up the correct torque sequence for your head

 

[lowandsleekDSM]

But thats for the studs too? like to torque them down to 80 ft/lbs. then put the head on....then torque the nuts down to the same 80 ft/lbs? i know this all sounds stupid right now but again i just wanna get it right....im running into some bad luck and i just want SOMETHING to work out haha
