Guest roadmaster56 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hello everyone:Now that I'm putting everything back together, I need some torque specs to correctly tighten the various nuts and bolts.My Chrysler shop manual refers me to "section XVI - Tightening Standards", but there are no torque specs anywhere in this section.Does anyone have a torque list for the various engine components. Specifically, I'm looking for the following specs:camshaft gear boltstiming chain cover boltsengine mount to cradleengine mount to enginecrank/lower pulley boltsfan boltsengine cradle to framerear engine mount boltsThanksDavid in Santa Cruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martylum Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 David-in any search engine enter-fastener torque table SAE grade- and you should get a table of bolt sizes and thread count and grade markings with Ft-# ratings for all the common bolt sizes. If you are doing an earlier car you have to guess on the grade rating as early bolts did not have grade markings.Martin Lum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My dad told me to tighten every thing to 1/2 turn before it breaks .....Thats a joke son, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Someone might be able to help if you told us the model and year of engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I don't think they published specs for those bolts. There are tables of torque settings as Martylum pointed out, they are generic but should be accurate for your use.They did not specify torque settings where they are not critical. Mechanics used to tighten them by feel and they were close enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silverghost Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I really think cylinder head bolts / nut & stud torque as well as manifold bolt/nut torque is the most important.These you should torque in the proper sequence to the proper value.All the rest just use your own reasonable judgement. I always use Loctite 242 Medium strength thread locker on engine bolts & nuts~Not head or manifold applications.Just to be sure they don't get loose !
