Torque and manuals

Not sure if this is the right category...

Now that I am getting closer to an end with my build, I need to go over everything again to make sure all torques are in spec.
I have the clymer manual and would get my specs from there.

Knowing that people correct some manuals and add missing info, is there anything I need to know? Or are all torque numbers in there correct?
I don't want to over torque and face the problem of broken bolts...

Thanks,
G

 

no some torquespecs are off but i do not know which ones in haynes are off
check torque against genric fasteners torque if they are differnet by to much ask the question

 

started a conversation with you it is time sensitive

 

Got it. Thanks a bunch.

 

NOTE: the use of anti-seize compounds will result in a TORQUE-MULTIPLYING EFFECT……..the result of a reduction in fricition between the threaded contact points……and thus fasteners treated with anti-seize compound should have their torque values reduced by at least 10-15% when installed into steel material, and up to 25% into aluminum materials or other “soft” metals” (such as spark plugs into cylinder heads, or almost any other type of fastener into the engine) …… note that this rule applies only to service manual torque specifications on fasteners that are not indicated to be treated with anti-seize fluid by the factory …. if the factory manual specifies the use of an anti-seize coating, then the specified torque value for that fitting already takes into account the “reduced torque” necessary.

This is excellent info, thanks Len. I read about this a few weeks back and totally forgot about it.

Aaaaand this reminds me that I did not put anti-seize on my spark plugs...
