How many foot lbs of torque do the 20 bolts on the cam caps take, This is for a b17 engine out of a 92 integra. There are 10 bolts on each runner( each runner goes about each cam) I am unsure what to call these, but can someone please tell me how tight to tourque these down. I dont want them coming loose on me. Thanks

 

I don't know but, you are looking for the "Torque Specs" of the cam caps.

Try a search using that.

 

Tighten the 6mm bolts to 96 inch lbs
Tighten the 8mm bolts to 16ft lbs
always start from the middle bolts and work your way out

 

actually, the larger bolts are 19lbft and the small bolts are around 7.5

 

So its 19 and 7.5? are u sure

 

I can vouch for sGT, he knows what he is talking about.

 

I'm sure the spec's i gave you are for a 92 GSR 1.7L,I looked it up using Snap-on Shop Key software.....I dont know where he's getting his spec's from.

actually its 21 ft lbs for the bigger bolts and 9 lbs for the smaller ones

 

wtf, now im confused

 

I'd buy a Helms

 

Okay anywhere from 7-10 is good for the 6mm bolts and 18-20 on the 8mm's.. It's not totally crucial that you have them absolutely on (just have them within that range)... Every DOHC VTEC motor I work on gets its 6mm bolts torqued to 9ft/lbs and the 8mm's to 19ft/lbs.. It's worked fine for all the motors that i've ever put together.. You really don't even need to torque the outer 6mm bolts but i always do... Latez

i got 7-10 on small and 20 on larger ones out of haynes

 

Right out of the helms manuel. 8mm bolts are 16 lb-ft, 6mm bolts are 8 lb-ft. Also dont forget the order in which you tighten them. Search for the helms manuel I think someone posted the whole thing for the 90-93 teg.
