INTRODUCTION
TIGHTENING TORQUE
Tighten fasteners to the torque specified in the exploded view(s) and/or in the written procedure. When
a torque is not specified, refer to the following table.
WARNING
Torque wrench tightening specifications must be strictly adhered to.
Locking devices when removed (e.g.: locking tabs, elastic stop nuts, self-locking fasteners, cotter
pins, etc.) must be replaced.
In order to avoid a poor assembly, tighten screws, bolts, or nuts in accordance with the following proce-
dure:
1. Manually screw all screws, bolts and/or nuts.
2. Apply half the recommended torque value.
3. Tighten fastener to the recommended torque value.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the recommended tightening torque for the specified fastener used.
NOTE:
When possible, always apply torque on the nut.
NOTE:
Always torque screws, bolts and/or nuts using a crisscross pattern when multiple fasteners are
used to secure a part (eg. a cylinder head). Some parts must be torqued according to a specific sequence
and torque pattern as detailed in the installation procedure.
