pies Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 can anyone tell me what the flywheel/torque converter should be torqued to on a M-EU engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 If you know the diameter of the bolts you should be able to hazzard are pretty good guess based on standard engineering principles what are on the interweb. There is a link on this site (in the workshop submissions section I think) to general fastner information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yup yup. You wait till vvega, forced and fishtailfrred get here. In other news: http://www.mechanical-fitter.co.uk/torque.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dattodevil Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just tighten them up until they go loose, then take them back half a turn, she'll be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leebo3 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 My V8 is no ME-U but my book said 75-85 foot pound? for the flywheel/flex plate to engine and for the torque converter to flywheel was only 30 or so. ONe thing you may have to watch being an auto you cant go and bolt the torque converter to the flywheel, you have to push it into the gbox in the correct position and slide the whole box as one onto engine so that the bolts on torque converter line up to flywheel. Not really sure how different your engine is to mine, but when i first put mine together i bolted the converter on first, then bolted box up, put in car, go to turn engine over a week later to put dizzy in and it wouldnt budge, just cos the tconverter hadnt been put in proper. Or your engine mite not be gay,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vvega Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 just remember a 12mm head on a bold doesn't mean its a M12 measure the shank stamp on bolt is really important too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
