head torque

HFJ · Apr 25, 2018

this bugged me when i rebuilt it, but i forgot to ask about it then. having the hood off again for some odds and ends reminded me.

assuming u haven't removed your wire conduit, how does anyone set the torque on the front center bolt/nut&stud?

Torque values will be different on studs with nuts than on the later hex head bolts. Nuts on studs are 7/16-20, hex head bolts are 7/16-14. One can search the archives here for torque values or simply verify the chart supplied under Research & Info on the left here. This info is also in your I&T F-04 Manual.

i know it's in my FO-4. but that's not what i was asking. i know the order, and i know how to torque down all but one

the end of the wire conduit is right above bolt/stud number 17 in this picture. how am i supposed to be able to set a specific torque on that one? u can't torque it down before the conduit is in place, since that conduit is fastened by 2 of the bolts/studs that should be torqued down before u get to number 17.

what's the secret? or does everyone do what i ended up doing - tightening it with a normal wrench and guessing at the torque? i am not familiar with any torque wrench that will fit on that one once the conduit is in place.

You use a crow foot or box end that is made to go on it, called a torque adapter by snap-on.

If you use a torque adapter, you have to have it 90 degrees from centerline of torque wrench or you will increase the amount of torque being applied.

these photos will show how to correctly use a torque adapter on a torque wrench and get the correct torque. must use it 90 degrees as photo show, not traight out like the other one.

ahhh, ty sir

sadly, my tool collection is pretty thin compared to most here, i'm sure. and my machine shop? well, if u consider a cummins drill press and bench grinder a machine shop, then i've got one :lol:

and ya, that's the people who used to sell cheap tools out of a semi trailer, not the diesel folks.
