Torque values for timing pinion, oil pump and camshaft
Posted: Fri Jun 17, 2022 4:50 pm
Afternoon all, FH is coming together well.
Now it’s getting serious - want to make sure nothing unwinds when (if) I get it running!
Timing pinion snugly installed on that left handed thread on the crankshaft. I’d welcome views on what torque to do it up to - and do I torque the bevel drive itself, then add the lock washer and lock nut and re torque - or simply torque up the locknut once it’s all on.
Same for the oil pump - the three little nuts on spring washers. What torque (or just a light ‘nip’)
Finally (for today!), I’ve installed the cam pinion, but with all the end float on the cam (c.5mm) I’m sure I’ve not got it fully ‘home’ yet. So - using the threaded holes in the pinion, and the extractor tool, do I use that to lock the cam and slowly tighten the nut to drive it further into the cam? How much end float should be left when it’s done? And what torque to do up the cam nut when I’ve done all that?
Thanks in advance (Mick and Simon most likely )
