putting an engine back together, what are the torque settings required?(a website?) any help/information i need to no/web links to help put it back together?
its in 2 main stages, head(cams need to ge in+cam"holders"? need settings for those), and the main block,(has crank in, but noo pistons) what things do i need to check here etc? MANY many thanks

 

buy a HELMS.

 

ya there is about a 1000 different tq #'s youll need. http://www.helminc.com

 

You definatley need it, just buy it will be well worth it.

 

Yeah no kidding, get a manual. Kind of like driving from LA to NY with no map. It's just not reasonable to ask for directions all the way there. Be a big boy, be responsible, get the manual.

 

heh, Cheers guys

 

Outa interest, is there no sites/people who have uploaded info such as torque settings outa the helms manual here??

 

give me a few mins and I will get you the specs. I jsut got done putting mine together last night.

Can we assume you're going to work on the car in the future? Get the manual, instead of leaning on everyone else everytime you need to tighten a bolt.

There is more then just one torque setting. Also, depending on which rods you use will require different torque settings for your rod bolts. Typically crower's are 45ftlbs, but you dont provide us with any specs on your motor so wtf do you expect us to say? Go buy a book for the 50th time, you will need it from this point forward in your life.

 

lets have a cry about it shall we?all together, 1..2..3.. CRY!!

 

Why would we cry about it? You're the one trying to assemble a motor without torque spects, not us.

 

im willing to bet also you most likely disassembled the engine without a helms also....Just as it is important to torque the bolts down in the right order,its also very important to remove them in the right order also.I hope you had the mains checked if you didnt remove the main bolts in the right order.

 

Torque specs for the head are in 3 steps:
1st 29ftlbs, 2nd 56ftlbs, and 3rd 74ftlbs from the center out, in a criss-cross pattern
Cam journal specs are 20ftlbs (12mm bolt heads) and 9ftlbs (10mm bolt heads) from the center out, in a criss-cross pattern.

I posted this in another thread...

 

thanks 2points, ive got most of the stuff i need now, and i didnt disassemble the engine,and most of its together,HENCE me ONLY asking what i need to now! AND why have tech treads, just tell everyone who asks an engine question to get a helms?? aye aye aye aye???????fools!
