Buick35 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I've got a 35 Buick 40 series and I got a torque wrench for Christmas.The trouble is that my shop manual doesn't list any torque settings except the one for the cylinder head bolts which is no higher than using a nine inch wrench with one hand.Dose any one have a chart?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 People weren't really using torque wrenches yet in 35. Specs seem to start appearing around 1941. If you have an engine that remained in production until 41 with the same bolt sizes, sometimes you can guess that way. On cars where that isn't true, you probably need to use a universal torque table and go by the size and thread. It's best to assume the bolts are a weak grade. They often were before the war.
