Hey I am getting close to finishing my built motor/ twin turbo build and have run into a problem. I am putting the motor back together but I cannot fine torque specs for the camshaft bearing caps anywhere. If anyone knows them that would be very helpful to my build. Thank you very much!

 

They get torqued in steps, 10in lbs; 40-55in/lbs; 71-89in lbs.

Something like that ill post exact numbers when i get home.

 

Do you or anyone have any idea what damage could happen if they were over tightened to 30-40ft pounds?
Thanks for the response!

 

yea if you over tighten you can snap them off and then your in for a very very bad day, ask me how I know...

I didn't snap them luckily however I did tighten them to the point the motor dosnt start. I'm going to loosen and retighten to spec and hopfully all my problems will be solved. Thanks for all the help.
