OlGeezer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Are they the same as on an Oilhead? IOW, they really don't have a torque value. Rather, the bolts have a shoulder which acts as a stop. Same for Hexhead? TIA, Link to comment
Don_Eilenberger Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yes. Tighten until snug, then stop. Link to comment
bmw jim Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 yes there is a torque value on those bolts.it is in inch pounds so be careful,you don't want to over torque them and have to install inserts I speak from experience Link to comment
Exploreinman Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yes, be very carefull, my PREVIOUS dealer overtorqued all 8 of mine on my '05 RT and had to install 8 helicoils to repair! Do not overtorque! Link to comment
spdyjr Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I just tighten them until I feel them make contact with the shoulder and they have never loosened up. Link to comment
