EJ torque settings

[hijacka]

Rebuilding my ej and found this on another sub site so thought i would share it with the class.

Con Rod Big End Caps = 44.6 N.m (4.55kgf-m, 33 ft-lb)

Block Bolts:

12mm Head = 25 N.m (2.5 kgf-m, 18 ft-lb)

14mm Double Hex = 47 N.m (4.8 kgf-m, 34.7 ft-lb)

Sump Baffle Plate = 6.4 N.m (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb)

Oil Pick Up Pipe = 10 N.m (1 kgf-m, 7 ft-lb)

Sump Pan = 5 N.m (0.5 kgf-m, 3.6 ft-lb)

Cylinder Head Bolts:

The text refers to bolts A,B,C etc, they are as follows:

A = Top Middle

B = Bottom Middle

C = Top Left

D = Bottom Right

E = Bottom Left

F = Top Right

When removing Cyl head bolts, they should be undone in the following order. F E D C B A

Refitting Cyl Heads:

(1) Apply a coat of engine oil to washers and

bolt threads.

(2) Tighten all bolts to 29 N•m (3.0 kgf-m, 22 ftlb)

in alphabetical sequence.

Then tighten all bolts to 69 N•m (7.0 kgf-m, 51 ftlb)

in alphabetical sequence.

(3) Back off all bolts by 180° first; back them off

by 180° again.

(4) Tighten bolts (A) and (B) to 34 N•m (3.5 kgfm,

25 ft-lb).

(5) Tighten bolts ©, (D), (E) and (F) to 15 N•m

(1.5 kgf-m, 11 ft-lb).

(6) Tighten all bolts by 80 to 90° in alphabetical sequence.

CAUTION:

Do not tighten bolts more than 90°.

(7) Further tighten all bolts by 80 to 90° in alphabetical

sequence.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the total “re-tightening angle” [in

the two previous steps] do not exceed 180°.

Camshaft Caps

M8 Bolts = 20 N.m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft-lb)

M6 Bolts = 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 lb-ft)

Cam Cover = 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 lb-ft)

Camshaft Timing Wheels = 98 N.m (10 kgf-m, 72.4 ft-lb)

Timing Belt Idlers = 39 N.m (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft-lb)

Timing Belt Tensioner Bracket 25 N.m ( kgf-m, 18 ft-lb)

Timing Belt Tensioner = 39 N.m (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft-lb)

Timing Belt Covers = 5 N.m (0.5 kgf-m, 3.6 ft-lb)

Crankshaft Pulley = 177.m (18kgf-m, 130 ft-lb

Oil Cooler Modine = 55 N.m (5.5 kgf-m, 40 ft-lb)

Water Pump = 12 N.m (1.2 kgf-m, 8.7 ft-lb) – Must be done diagonally and re-checked

Oil Pump = 6.4 N.m (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb)

Inlet Manifold = 25 N.m (2.5 kgf-m, 18 ft-lb)

Exhaust Manifolds = 35 M.m (3.6 kgf-m, 26 ft-lb)

Flywheel = 72 N.m (7.3 kgf-m, 52.8 lb-ft)

I like how the factory manual has this step on the bottom of the page....

(6) Tighten all bolts by 80 to 90° in alphabetical sequence.

CAUTION:

Do not tighten bolts more than 90°.

And then on the next page directly behind...... lol a trick for new players.

(7) Further tighten all bolts by 80 to 90° in alphabetical

sequence.

True lol!!

Also picked up that it says for the block 14mm Double Hex = 47 N.m (4.8 kgf-m, 34.7 ft-lb) when the boltheads are 12mm haha. Hope the rest of the torque setting are true cause ive just put the block together with those settings lol feels ok thou

Thats just so that you don't overtighten one (compared to the rest) out of sequence? It's normal to do the tightening in two 90 degree steps.

It also helps to draw a vertical line across each head so that when you are sure you've done all of them 90 degrees, you can easily see any that haven't been touched.

I know thats why they do it but it the way its set on the next page of the book is confusing.
