Nathan, Sorry for being late getting back to you--we were working on our D17 most of the day and I took the kids (my helpers) out for dinner tonight. I see Bob provided a link to a torque chart, but as he said, that seems to be a fairly big bolt diameter. The chart refers to bolt diameter--not hex head size. And the grade of the flywheel bolt is likely a Grade 8, not a Grade 2. Keep in mind, the minimum quality you want to use for general structural work or say, bolting up implements, would be a grade 5. Engine bolts are generally grade 8 for head, flywheel rods and mains. Manifolds and sheet metal stuff might be grade 5, but I also seen grade 8 bolts on manifolds too. Also, the torque value is lowered (roughly 10%) when the threads are lubricated. One more thing--the torque chart shows values for coarse thread bolts. Generally flywheel bolts are SAE fine thread. If so, they'll have a slightly different value--I believe a little higher. We'll be on the road all day (Sunday)--so wish you well. I'll check back late Sunday pm.
