Torque Values − Standard Screws and Elastic Studs
1. Torque Values − Standard Screws
It is recommended that the torque values given in the table below are for aII standard
metric screws of grade 8.8. This applies to all threaded connections not shown in
0352 − 1 . The threads and bottom of the head must be lubricated with oil SAE 30.
For the screws in high temperature areas (exhaust pipes, expansion pieces etc), a
lubricant resistant to heat (e.g. NEVER SEEZ NSBT8) is recommended.
If NEVER SEEZ NSBT8 is used, the torque value must be decreased by 20% of the
values given in the table.
These torque values do not apply to turbocharger installations. Refer to the
documents of the turbocharger manufacturer for the correct torque values.
