fan shroud torque

Post by chitwnvw » Wed Mar 21, 2007 8:03 am

Anyone know the torque on the 4 nuts that hold the fan shroud to the block?

2nd question, am I being a dummy? I can't seem to find this listed in the Bentley's list of torque values.

14 ft/lbs. Be very alert to the little index flanges on the case. The lips must all be aligned with the hole in the magnesium fan housing. You need those big sort of thin washers behind the nuts to distribute the clamping force. The specification is in the Bentley torque table for dual carbureted engines.
