Valkyrie Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 what is the correct tq to use? Haynes manual states 70 to 80 ftlbs for 1.8 and 2.2 engines. However I've seen posted to use 125 ftlbs on this site. The haynes list 90 to 100 ftlbs only for 2.5 engines. what is the correct to use for 1.8 and 2.2 engines? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellow65 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 it used to be like 80 but was updated by subaru to 120 something. the 80 could allow for crank wobble but the updated torque spec fixed it. just crank it down to 120 and call it good. i have done tons like this and never had an issue. if you want to take one step farther put a drop of blue thread lock on it. it's not the hard core red stuff but should be just that little extra insurance that you will probably never need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
