Does anyone know off the top of their heads? Looking for the proper torque specs for the big crank pulley bolt, and the four smaller bolts that surround it.

 

Balancer 7/16-20 Hub Bolt: 65-70 ft/lb depending upon year. 70 is usually safe.

The three surrounding balancer sheave 3/8-24 cap screws: 40 ft/lb is adequate.

 

TYVM!!! Needed that

 

oh! 7/16" FINE! damn, no wonder I was tearing up a coarse 7/16" bolt, while trying to turn the engine in the building stage... hmm, better go find one of those...

 

If you were running a coarse in there I would run a bottoming tap in (7/16 20)and very carefully inspect the threads. dont be suprised it you strip it when yor trying to torque it to 70 ft lbs.

If u have any issues you get to go to 1/2 inch, least its out of the car still :-)

later

yea, i'll tap first and hopefully be ok, only got the coarse bolt in 2 threads...

70ft lbs? what is torqued into that hole anyway? to get the balancer on? or the pulleys?
