lim torque

used search bar couldnt find the correct tighteing order for the bolts on the lim. anyone have a diagram showing what order to go in?

use the "centre out" theory.

inner most 4 then outter most 4
go back to the others on the inside then the others on the outside
i always do it in the shape of an x kinda like a tire where you go across from bolt to bolt

torque to 11 foot pounds

simon

gotcha thanx a bunch

Just go tight.

Even at 11 ft lbs the bolts can break with ease.

Been there done that.

so go snug then a quarter turn

dont forget the thread sealant for the lim bolts as well.

thread sealant required or a precaution

required.

Otherwise oil will wick up the bolts.

Honestly? Wow.. I've reused these bolts time after time, have found torque specs of 11ft lbs and 13ft lbs. For the aluminum gaskets I use 15ft lbs. Never heard of this issue before.

Although I understand how a Canadian might have trouble with pounds vs meters.. lol

I've never replaced them...just used thread sealant. Doesn't mean they can't break, just saying I've never broken one.

If you haven't, Brian hasn't and I haven't.. It can't be easy to break one..lol

use a torque wrench?

I tried once.

Ever break a harmonic balancer bolt?

No, just the balancer itself.

I've never broken an lim bolt and I always use a torque wrench. Never used thread sealant either.

I just go by the torque spec chart from wherever I got that from haha

in/lbs or ft/lbs

Ft/lbs
