Title: Torque settings
Post by: Gmg31 on Monday,October 12, 2015, 12:08:24 PM

Do we have a comprehensive list of all torque settings on this site somewhere please?

And are the settings different on my 1560 Renault Federal engine.

Settings for the S-2s are on page 19 of the work shop manual.

IIRC, the manual does not distinguish between bolts that are screwed into a nut or cast iron vs. screwed into aluminum. Be sure to reduce your torque value for those bolts screwed into aluminum - or better yet, just make sure they are tight.

BDA is referring to the "general nuts and bolts" table, not the component-specific, recommended torques.

Thanks for clarifying that for me, John!
