Confirming EJ20Y cambelt torque specs.

[Panda]

Hi all. Doing a cambelt and wpump change tomorrow, found some old notes of mine that I just wanted to confirm with others that they are correct before I write them in my new "Subaru cheat book" of torque specs?.

 

Can anyone help confirm that these torque specs for the EJ20Y (I assume all EJ's) are correct!

 

Large cambelt idlers including the hydraulic tensioner - 39Nm

 

The singular small cambelt idler - 25Nm

 

waterpump - 12Nm, starting at the 2 O' clock bolt and moving clockwise. Do two 12Nm passes all the way around the six bolts.

 

Thermostat housing - 12Nm

 

main crank pulley (Harmonic balancer) - 44Nm followed by 45° (should equal approximately 130Nm) 

 

 

I also add a small amount of Loctite Blue to all idlers and the tensioners....what are your opinions about the Loctite Blue?

 

Does anyone oppose my torque specs? many thanks everyone! ?

No idea off the top of my head but I always just use the specs for a 257 from one of the GR/GV service manuals, pretty sure there are a few 2.0 4th gen ones floating around too. But i’d be highly surprised if it was any different for roughly the same age
