Hey again
Trying to find the torque values now that I know it’s a 70 engine not a 69
Values all over the place on line
Main bearing caps 80 Ftlbs for caps 1,2,3,4 and 120 for #5 is that correct?
Where do I find the correct values for all the parts
Thanks again Gents

 

The factory service manual has all of the information you will need. Most Chiltons manuals have engine torque specs and other information as well, but the original factory manual is best.

 

I have a factory service manual for '69 if you would like those values...can't imagine anything would have changed for '70 on engine torque specs

 

Should be the same for 68-76. In 77 larger head bolts were used.

That would be great
Thanks
Rick

 

Is this engine factory stock bolts or ARP's? ARP's bolts has different torque specs. Follow their instructions if you're using it.

Factory stock bolts

Thanks

 

Sorry for the delay, work has been rough. I'll get you what info I can this evening.

Thanks Alan

 

Well Rick, i typed up a big list last night and hit post before i went to sleep...unless I just dreamt it, i must have screwed it up because i dont see it. I'll try again tonight...my apologies

 

Sounds like a rough work week
Thank you again

Rick

 

Torque values taken from my 1969 factory service manual

*All values in lb-ft unless otherwise noted
**Values for intake, heads, rods and mains assumes all threads have been thoroughly cleaned and liberally coated in 30 weight oil

Intake--step one 15, step two 35 (follow proper sequence)
Intake baffle to block--8
Heads--80 (should be torqued in progressive steps, follow proper sequence)
Rods--42 (should be torqued in progressive steps, follow proper sequence)
Mains--#1-4-->80, #5-->120
Balancer--160 minimum
Cam sprocket--65
Oil filter adapter--35
Oil pump--35
Oil pan--5/16 bolt-->12, 1/4 bolt-->8
Rocker pivots--25
Flex plate--60
Flywheel--80
Exhaust manifold--25
Valve cover--7
Front cover--5/16 bolt-->25, 3/8-->35
Water pump to front cover--13 (I think I wimped out at 10 when I did mine)
Thermostat housing--20
Fuel pump--25
Motor mounts--50
Starter bolts--35

Let me know if I left anything out that you need.

Rick, although the service manual mentions liberally coating the threads with oil, another area is underneath the bolt head. Lubricating this area reduces friction between the bolt head and surface and gives a correct torque read. Cleanliness is critical. Good luck

 

Agreed!

 

Thanks Guys
Appreciate all the help and info.
