Torque settings
« 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.

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.
