Nozzle Holder Torque

[Squirt-Truck]

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........

Check 'em

For fuel injector nozzle cleaning, inspection, and repair procedures, refer to TM 9-2815-210-34-2-2.

The 361 series TM has it right.

5-2
Apply a coat of silicone compound to fuel injector nozzle body (15).
Install dust seal (14) onto fuel injector nozzle body (15).
Install fuel injector nozzle (4) and holder (3) into engine (13) with two new lockwashers (2) and
screws (1).
Evenly tighten two screws (1) 13-15 lb-ft (17-20 N.m).
Connect fuel injector tube (6) to fuel injector nozzle (4) with tube nut (12).
Install two cushions (10) and retainers (7) on fuel injector tubes (5) and (6) with washer (,​

screw (9), and new locknut (11).

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?
