Bump, just got to my garage. There must be someone out there that knows the answer to this question.

All of my forum searches turned up negative.

Well that thought went through my brain, however i am reluctant to assume the torque specs... but if there is nothing in the manual about it i very well may have to...



Maybe ill PM some of these other guys that have done a 'from the ground up' builds.



Anymore info is WELL appreciated.


Thanks,

has anyone even had an issue not torquing things like this down to spec? i can understand wanting to torque an engine to spec, but most the parts i remove i just get them as tight as i can without breaking them. after you work on enough things you get an idea how much force it takes to break a bolt off. i've never had any issue from doing it this way. shoot some bolts wouldnt even allow room for a torque wrench in there. maybe this is a ghetto way of bolting things together but i never have issues. *shrug*
