Exclamation Torque on Turbo Coolant Lines.

So I just picked up a set of new Efini twins cause I cracked my primary exhaust manifold split. The new set doesn't have the 2 oil lines bridges, 1 coolant line bridge, and the 2 water/oil in(or out; dunno) lines. Was wondering if anyone knows the torque on the oil bridge lines, coolant bridge line, oil-in(?) line, and water-in(?) line. Took them off the old set but can't find the torque in the shop book at all. The bridges go on w/ banjo bolts and copper washers, the other 2 w/ 2 bolts and a gasket.

Can send pictures if you don't understand what I'm talking about, but I think anyone that could know the answer will probably understand my madness.

Thanks as always guys.

I don't know an exact torque spec, I just tighten enough to crush the copper crush washers and have never had a problem. Ballpark around 25-30 ft-lbs. You'll feel the crush washer crushing.

The 10mm bolts for the oil drains are pretty low torque, maybe 15 ft-lbs. It's just a 10mm bolt so you can't bow up on it or anything.

Just use common sense and you'll be fine.
