This has largely become a mental exercise for me---I've cranked on enough variously sized nuts & bolts (stripped a few!) to have a pretty good "feel" for what's about right, torque-wise. (With the total inaccessibility of so many of them on Boxster repairs, I've considered tossing the torque wrench into the trash can.) But, I'm sorta having fun with the discussion...here's the diagram:
Now, back to my list from Bentley:
A) Engine mount to engine 34 ft-lb
B) Engine yoke to body 48 ft-lb
C) Engine yoke to engine mount 48 fl-lb
Is it just me, or isn't it clear that "A" refers to Bolts 7 & 8 in the diagram? That's the only torque value in this section of Bentley that specifies 34 ft-lbs.
And "B", to me, seems just as clearly to refer to the fasteners numbered 1 (of which there are actually four total). Inconveniently, Bentley didn't specifically provide separate torque values for the stud
and nuts in their description.
Likewise, "C" corresponds to nuts/bolts 2 & 3. Right?
Where do you guys get "34 ft-lb" for the torque setting for the nuts (numbered 1, in the diagram) to the studs??
