Mep 802 torque values

[incorporatedbyinference]

I have finally purchased an Mep 802. I have gone through the tms but have been unable to locate any information on what to torque things at. I am going to make my own muffler gasket this weekend. If it’s not in the tms what value should I use. I know the saying “cross threaded is tightest”.

Specifically which TMs have you referenced? I ask because are you aware that there are TM sets just for the engine? Complete genset TMs and engine TMs exist (and for good reason). I think the info you are looking for is found in ARMY TM 92815-252-24

And if you don't want to make your own, you can just buy some (these are knockoffs): https://www.ebay.com/itm/153426884129

OEM can be found here: https://shop.cummins.com/CSSNAStore...3sOgtQAE/onan-exhaust-manifold-gasket-1866206

You may be able to find the Lister Petter gasket cheaper, I just don't know the model number offhand

The Engine TM has a torque chart in the rear appendix, but there is no value listed next to manifold. You could either find a similar size bolt ( such as the crankcase door ) as a reference or simply tighten them within reason using 1 hand and a 3/8" ratchet. Those studs / nuts are pretty small so I don't go too crazy with them.... probably 6-8 lb./ft at most.

I knew that I had seen the values. I printed the tm that had the sequence of trouble shooting steps I believe 24. I wasnt sure if my printer was capable but it did. Just so I get the correct what is the tm number I after. Thanks for the help.

There is a -24 for the complete machine, and one for the engine alone.

I’ll look through the appendix tonight. I printed the longer one.

This is all the TM's you need.

All the manuals for the MEP-802, 5KW Generator

This should be the whole package of information needed to work on/repair the MEP-802 Generator set.
