crankshaft gerdal torque specs

[slow40sx]

It doesn't list it in the Haynes manual and i can't find it on KA-T or anywhere else i looked so i was wondering if anyone knows the torque specs for the crankshaft girdle on a KA24DE, thanks

i think its 35ft lbs, with no torque sequence.. actually pretty damn sure thats it, i had to do it last week..

[louisdaboois]

i think it more like 40, maybe 31-45??? i just did it the other day and i put 40 on

does anyone now the torque specs for the rod bolts? im using the old bolts no new ones, i believe there m8 bolts and in the manual it says m8 boolts require 12 to 14 ft pounds....and for rod bolts that dosnt seem like enough

[babowc]

Um wow..
it's right there on the FSM for the girdle.
34-41FTLB

IF you're using ARP hardware,
25, 45, then 60.

For rod bolts, also on the FSM..
10-12, then 28-33

reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddd ddddddddddddddddddddddddd

connecting rods
first step is 10-12 ft lbs second step is 60-65 degrees or 28-33 ft lbs

[babowc]

It's already rebuilt or getting rebuilt?

Break it in hard.
Thats about it.. I'm in the process of rebuilding mine too.
Shooting to finish it by sunday evening.

break it in hard? but yea rebuilding it i have new bearings rings . cams springs retainers (bc) all new timing chains and the works...

[fakts13]

yep, break in hard (kinda). rings like load to help the cross hatches on the cylinders break them in evenly, resulting in better sealing. more detailed explaination here: http://mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm
