I wonder myself what the tq spec is. Ive been looking online and haven't found anything yet.
I think when I drop the engine in, Ill just get the impact out and tighten them down.

In the realm of those that turn a wrench, we don't use torque wrenches except for engine work.
The term goodntight is used. In other words, as tight as can go and not fxxk up the bolt. 8)

I use the three grunt method on stuff under 3/4 inch. After three grunts, it should be tight enough.
On stuff 1" or larger i use the one grunt method. That also includes a 4' cheater pipe, and...one grunt.

Never had anything come loose, and if it breaks, it probably wasn't in that good of shape to begin with :lol: :lol: :lol:
