Torque Specs

Other than a Service Manual, where would be a good reliable source for torque specs? I didn't see a post on here...maybe there is one and I missed it.

 

PM me and I'll send you a scan of the chart from the factory book.

Wanny buy a factory 550 (Seca only, no Max supplement) book, cheap?

 

Haynes manual is reliable and cheap.

 

You know, I just might have a Haynes manual...I just don't know where it is. When I moved to my current house, I still haven't unpacked all of the boxes...and I'll bet it's in one of those. Now I have a reason to unpack them.

 

Rule of thumb, you can't go far wrong with:
5mm = .5kg/m
6mm = 1.0
8mm = 2.2
10mm =3.5
12mm = 5.5

 

Good info, thanks Wizard.

(Note to self: Get Metric Torque wrench)

 

Or just Google the conversions.

 

Already did that...but I'd rather have the metric t.w. instead of having to refer to a chart.

I built a Dodge 340, a Dodge 360, a Ford 351, and a Sportster 1000 without ever needing a metric torque wrench. Since I'm getting into my Seca "up to my elbows", I should have the proper tools to do the job correctly.

Thanks again.

 

None of 'em are PURE metric; they're generally marked with both metric and imperial.

I like these: http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-2530- ... -3459.aspx for inch-pounds and http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-2531- ... -3460.aspx for the bigger stuff.

The "pure metric" tool you need is a FEELER GAUGE. http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-2399- ... -2274.aspx

Makes life so much easier.
