Jacob_E Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I need help determining the amount of torque I need to use for a 1936 Oldsmobile engine. Believe it or not the torque specifications are not listed in the service manual and I don't have a more general manual such as Chilton as of this moment. If any one can help me out on the torque specs for the main caps, piston connecting rods, the cylinder head, and any other part that needs to be precision torqued down I would greatly appreciate it.

Guest oldsmobile1915 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 the torque specs generally did not change up through the 1960's... a good estimate can be found on early 1960s and before. (ie 40 / 60 / 80 lbft on head bolts in sequence) a decent generic manual can be found free on line in google books - dykes automotive encyclopedia.other more specific car manuals can be found and read at the following. I hope this helps.http://www.tocmp.com/http://www.oldirononline.com/http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/brochures/Olds/1936/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
