|
|
Hi, Can anyone tell me the torque settings for the Ford 100E sidevalve main bearings and big ends? I guess they would be the same as the earlier 8 and 10hp engines?
Also, is there anything other than the head which will need to be torqued up? Oil pump maybe?
Was going to have a guess but i thought i'd ask first.
Cheers |

Hi
A guide from a workshop practice book of the era;
Con rods 35-40, Main bearings 45-65
If using high tensile bolts;
Con rods 60-65, Main bearings 80-100 all lb/ft. |

Top man ukDave! I knew the main bearings were higher than the big ends but not by how much. Thanks. |
