16-8 APPENDIX
Nut, Bolt, and Fastener Tightness
Standard Torque Table
This table relating tightening torque to thread diameter,
lists the basic torque for bolts and nuts. Use this table for
only the bolts and nuts which do not require a specific
torque value. Refer to each chapter for reference to these
features. All of the values are for use with dry
solvent-cleaned threads.
Tightness Inspection
.Check the tightness of the bolts and nuts listed here.
Also, check to see that each cotter pin is in place and in
good condition.
NOTE
0 For the engine fasteners, check the tightness of them
when the engine is cold (at room temperature).
General Fasteners
* If there are loose fasteners, retorque them to the
specified torque following the specified tightening
sequence. Refer to the appropriate chapter for torque
specifications. If torque specifications are not in the
appropriate chapter, see the Standard Torque Table. For
each fastener, first loosen it by1 /2 turn, then tighten it.
* If cotter pins are damaged, replace them with new ones.
