Vaquero throttle body bolt torque?

Vipertestarossa · 12-10-2012, 06:01 PM

I just installed the thunder gasket and I would like to torque the 3 bolts holding the TB on...anyone know the correct torque value?

Thanks in advance

6 ft lbs (?)

From the manual: Torque - Throttle Body Assy Bolts: 9.8 N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 87 in·lb)

Let us know what (if any) difference you noticed.

Make sure you tighten them evenly as well.

85 in-lb would be closer to 7 ft-lb.

7.25 ft-lb to be exact

2 ft lbs would be bad, 30 ft lbs would be really bad.
