Torque setting?

What I meant to ask is...What is the torques setting on the clutch to flywheel on a 1915cc engine???

Flywheel Gland nut

Size doesn't matter!

Tighten it until it strips, then back it off an eighth. ;)

In reality though, I don't think it's possible to strip a gland nut. With a cro-moly part, 450 lb ft is the "folklore and common knowledge" spec.

It's always good to wake up and laugh out loud when you read something! Thanks for all the info. I bookmarked the pages with all the torque specs. I knew if I googled the info I would find it somewhere on the web but I thought it would be more fun to ask on the SOC web site and I was right!

Also....Wolfgang, you wake up too early! And GLAND NUT!@# That's a pretty stupid name!

Stan -
strip: no
break: yes

I broke one years ago (before i invested in a torque dude).

Of course, you have to consider that if you torque a gland nut to something higher than 350 ft. lbs. (yes, I've done that) then it'll take six men and three boys on a 20 foot piece of pipe (with a thousand angels on each of their shoulders) to ever get the thing off later on. I had one, once, that even a 600 ft. lb. impact wrench couldn't get off. Had to resort to the aforementioned six-and-six and associated angels and it finally let go with a BANG!

Stick with a max of 300 ft. lbs. It should hold just fine.
