Yeah and you better clean up the mess u left at my place...Bro
Engine bolt torque specs needed
- Thread starter racer30
- Start date
The bolts on the cam plate use standard torque for the fastener size according to my manual. In this case 5/16 bolt gets 14 ft/lb. Oil squirters are 7 ft/lb with blue loctite. I wasn't sure about the loctite but when I cleaned the bolts they had some sort of thread locker residue from factory.

Thats what I thought, so I tightened them to 14lbs... I hope I don't have to take this Engine apart again cause the squirters got red loctight and 9lbs torqe. The rotating assembly is in and tight. I'm going on 2 weeks vacation with the wife.( Road trip to NV and AZ.) When I get back I will get a little farther along and then I will start my engine swap thread.. This engine is going into my class a MotorHome.

So far what I'm reading about the red loctite and the torques are fine. Yes.. Removing the oil squiters next time will be tuff but before then if you could tell us what red loctite you used it would help us know. They make a red 271 and a 277 by my charts. Probably make more reds than that but thats what I have...

Does anyone know the torque specs for the front and rear plate bolts? Also, what is the torque spec for oil pump mounts?
