screwbaru2 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 To sell head bolts, silly! It worked this time didn't it? That's got to be the must convulooted (sic) torque sequence I've ever seen. I knew when I looked it over I should take it in the house sit down with a cup of jo and read it. But NOOOO I'll follow it as I go along:dead: They only got me for 1 bolt and a 1 HG. If I had talked to the machinist before I ordered the HG I might have used the same one, and I since found a whole set of head bolts that I could have used.

trevorno Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I know it's an old thread, but they got me too. I'm looking for a machine shop to back out the broken piece, then I'll be re-installing with new head bolts. Not good times. I'm gonna find out who wrote it in in-lbs and kick them squaw!

GeneralDisorder Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thye use inch/pounds because it's such a low torque value that it's on the bottom end of the scale for most ft/lb insturments. It's 11 ft/lbs and most of them start at 10. The low end of the scale is not typically very accurate on precision measureing devices so they call for an in/lbs device so the result is more accurate. That said I typically just do them with my larger insturment set at 11. I haven't had a problem with it. But I do use Snap-On torque insturments.
