Apparently studs and bots were both used in 2000.... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Piston rod bolts, not nuts. Torque question., Dano, Fri, 28 Dec 2012 22:29:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Although the WIS won't let me Copy and Paste from their instructions page, the 2000 MY instructions for attaching the big end of the connecting rod has two boldened lines of torque values. One for Studs and one for bolts, Connecting Rod Numbers must all face in the same direction and all pistons must be of same manufacturer.
Bolts: 18 ft-lbs (25 N-m) plus 100 degrees
Studs: 15 ft-lbs (20 N-m) plus 70 degrees
How do you eye-ball either 70 degrees or 100 degrees? Is there a protractor attachment for breaker bars?
