Hick Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 So I'm putting my flywheel back in and looked up the torque spec and it says 50 ft lbs then another 60 degrees. Maybe it's just me, but that seems pretty ghetto for a torque spec. Is there an actual torque? Because 60° on top of the 50 ft lbs seems almost impossible without snapping the head off.
Megadan Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 60 degrees isn't even 1/4 of a turn. It's actually 1/6th of a turn. If it was good enough for the factory, I fail to see how it will be a problem.
airspeed Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Are those stretch bolts? I think a torque value and then a rotation is only used on stretch bolts application.
Jeep Driver Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 I set all mine finger tight then buzzed them with an impact. That was about a year ago and I'll do it again soon as I install my new engine.

Not always, GM has a few applications from the factory that specify degrees. In fact, the 60 degree V6 rocker arm torque spec is 89in-lbs + 30 degrees.
