Torque Specs

[rst95eclipse]

My Helms manual isn't giving me torque specs for the bolts on the tensioner (2), tensioner arm (1), motor mount (3), oil housing (5), and idler pullies (1 bolt for each). If you have this knowledge, please post up. In ft/lbs not in/lbs please.

Thank you.

Timing belt tensioner = 204 in/lbs
Timing belt tensioner pully = 420 in/lbs
Oil Filter housing = 132-192 in/lbs

Dont have any info on the idler pully and the only thing I can find on the motor mount bolts are "tighten them securely". :)



bahaha

In ft/lbs not in/lbs please.

I hate dividing by 12 too.

[EclipseGST]

Lets confuse him... 1 in/lb = .833333333 ft/lbs.

You do the math! Lazy bastard!

Do you think I'd be better off welding everything to the block?

[EclipseGST]

YES! Definately.

Knowing you... You will! Ha.

It's not really the math. I'm just thinking that everything to do with timing is going to be in ft/lbs. Plus my torque wrench is only in ft/lbs, so I might as well keep everything "standardized," so I don't f*ck anything up.

Thanks Jake. Now this thread won't be taken seriously and I'll never get my answer........

[EclipseGST]

I gave you the right answers... Just do the math. Meathead!

Also, the oil filter housing bolts are in IN/LBS.

Well f*ck me silly. I thought they were ft/lbs. Hahahahaha.
