Title: Plenum bolts
Post by: tooleater on 27 September 2013, 12:46:58

As the Torque wrench is a next day and I puchased a 3/8 20nm to 100. before I do a practise run.
is it possible to give me a dummys guide ;D to how tight without T wrench Plenum bolts should be.
Cheers John :y

8nm

But I'd do them to 20 as the bolts are enormous for 8nm.

In other words, just do em up! ;D

A "nip" for plenum bolts.

Obviously, having OCD and being generally anal, I always^* use a torque wrench.


^* When I had one
