looking for torque specs, 22R, esp. timing chain guide bolts #1031204 07/04/11 04:05 AM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have the Factory Service Manual, for my 1984 22R pickup. I also have a Haynes manual. Neither of them show the torque specs for the bolts that hold down the two plastic chain guides, or for the bolts that hold the tensioner in place. Is there a complete torque specs list somewhere that I can access?

I usually find that "Standard Bolt Tightening Torque - Appendix B, Factory Service Manual" works well for the majority of the bolts that do not have explicit torques.

In the back of my FSM there is a section called Tightening Torque Spec.. It gives you how to identify the bolts and the torque for a given bolt.

>>>*The guiderail bolt spec is 16 ft lbs, tensioner is 14 ft lbs. I use 14 and 12 myself, works fine....The tensioner bolts are pretty critical, too much there can distort the tiny tensioner body and cause the arm to be sticky...*EB

Thanks for the help everyone. Engnbldr, do you know the torque setting for the oil pan nuts/bolts. I think I've seen 52 inch/lbs, but my torque wrench is in foot/lbs (0-100). Is it such a small amount that you either need a special inch/lbs torque wrench or you just snug them by hand...and are they easy to strip?

If you're torquing the oil pan to that small amount by hand, you shouldn't be stripping them. >hint< <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Snug is good; just make sure you give the sealant a chance to set up before adding oil. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Toyota FIP stuff is good; so is Permatex's black gasket sealant.

I have a cork gasket for the oil pan...should I be using sealant also? I have some red RTV, is this ok.

IIRC, the older trucks with the cork gaskets didn't need sealant. However, I've used just enough in the past to hold the gasket in place while getting the bolts put in.

The later trucks used the FIPG sealant, without that gasket.

Hope that helps; just make sure all your surfaces are CLEAN!

That's the nice thing about the solid axle; you don't have to screw around holding your mouth right putting up the pan, unlike with the IFS. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

>>>*Yep, pretty easy to break those little bolts, but I never torque them, I use simple wrist pressure and a nut driver and run them up, give them a light twist to snug them and call it good.

I also agree completely on only a tiny bit of sealer on a gasket, wish I had a dime for every crankshaft we have dug sealer out of...*EB
