Nozzle Holder Torque - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

Duh question,
Does anyone have the PROPER torque value for the injector holder fasteners??
I have the manual and it says 150 to 170 ft/lb. (Paragraph 5-34) No way on those fasteners...

Thanks

I think that's a typo & should be 15-17 ftlb

There is a standard torque value for most fasteners by their size. I'd go that route. An example:

Thanks guys, I assumed the typo and assuming that it was a dropped point, that fits with the standard torque table.

Now I just gotta decide if a fresh IP should have checked injectors......
Rats, such decisions........

Doghead,
Many thanks, the 361 is it. I did not check there just the 210 series.
Now I need to find a source of the replacement pads for the injector line clamps. I need all 4 of the 1" two line and 4 of the 2" two line pads.

Might be able to make them. Hardwood or some nylon block?
