torque wrench use
Please explain how i use a torque wrench?
I replaced my intake manifold and its plastic , i dont want to over tighten. I never use a torque wrench. There are 9 bolts on the intake. I have the tightening sequence instruction with the intake. I just have no idea how to torque.
18 lb/ft or 25nM , it says
I may rent one free at Autozone.
Please explain to me step by step after i put on the manifold, and then what?
Do you hand tigthen all of them first and then use a regular ratchet and then torque em?
PLease list every specific detail from then on. I have no clue. And tell me what type of Torque rench should i rent at AZ.
Thanks alot
First off, make sure the threads are clean and put a few drops of oil around the underside of the bolt heads. If the torque on this manifold is 18 ft lbs - torque the bolts in three steps - paying attention to the sequence. Torque them to 9 or 10 ft lbs - then to 14 or 15 then a final torque of 18 ft lbs.
And you're correct - proper torquing is more important than ever with plastic parts and light weight alloys.
