RE: Torque specs If you don't have the ability to keep the process straight with all the variations, I suggest; 1) Print the procedure. 2) Read the procedure. 3) Re-read the procedure, and make a mark on the steps that apply specifically to your engine. 4) Verify unmarked steps don’t pertain to you, and cross them out with a red pen/sharpie/etc. Now you can open your hood and toolbox... 5) Use a DIFFERENT color pen and mark each step off your printed procedure as you complete it. 6) Use a paint marker and mark each bolt/nut when tightened, and definitely when torqued to spec. I just replaced this wheel seal, the axle cap nuts require torque specs, there’s no doubt I have completed this step if I get distracted and need to come back to it. Guess which wheel studs get the Tru-Bal centering sleeves installed on them? This also comes in real handy when you have more than one guy working on things, there’s never something left undone and assumptions of “I thought you did that one...” Ask themissinglink, every job done in my shop gets these markings. The bolts on my motor are covered in blue & white paint. Each guy gets his own color, so you know who did what. Pop a top on any engine I’ve done an overhead on, every adjuster screw and jam nut is painted. User's Signature: Why? Why do I always ask "why?" Because I can't learn or help teach others with "'cause I said so..." | |||
