I guess this goes under the "for what it's worth" collumn but I recently bolted up my inner CV joints. I used gaskets and torqued them down. I waited till the next day to safety wire them and decided to re-torque them. Each bolt turned an additional 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Some of you might already use this tightening technique but I thought I'd post it anyway. For what it's worth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I stopped using gaskets as there is no way to accurately tq the bolts with a compressible substance in the mix.

So you can never accurately torque a bolt that compresses a gasket? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Made me scratch my head also considering the wide industry use of Head Gaskets and other gaskets that can be torqued to spec. Double torquing is also industry standard from what I have found. Even with stretch bolts the directions I have read (yes I read the directions sometimes) say to run the engine for a period of time, then re-torque the heads. I also re-torque the heads on a type 4 motor...with no head gasket. They also need to be done once the motor is broken in. rich |
