Cory9584 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 I was torquing the case together with a torque wrench i wasnt used to combined with the horrid smell of the yamaha sealer, then the make a long story short i torqued it a little more than i should of a little faster than i should of. But anyway on the final step i was sure to get everything right. Is it ok that i gave it a little extra in the early stages as long as i still stayed in order and ended up with the same final torques? Quote
Bansh-eman Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 it wont hurt anything to go a little over, torque specs are to make sure you get the bolts tight enough that they wont fall out without over doing it and ripping out the threads Quote
bansheeman1988 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 i think you will be okay as long as you didnt stretch the case bolts or strip them. I would do a leakdown test right away before you get all back together and see if it holds (6psi for 6min) If your good there then i would just say loosen the bolts and torque them to 18ft/lbs and you should be okay! Good luck man Quote
Cory9584 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 I never actually torqued them over spec, i just torqued it a little high on the initial torques. why are you saying to loosten them up and torque to 18 ft lbs if its good? Should it be retorqued after running it? Quote

Screaming Yellow Zonker Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 I wouldnt worry about it at all. I didnt torque any of my case bolts and have had no problems. I have also been working on all types of engines for 15 years. Quote
