hi buddy
mine where 26lb torque using the special lube supplyed . this info is from the instruction sheet that came with the bolts :O) part num 107-6002 / 1076022 /1994 on

and no gasket you have to use instant stuff , i use locktite 5699 grey high performance , sell it in halfords i think

good luck ,

Quick tip for the Sump bolts, no torque but there are 2 or 3 that are shorter than others don't do the same as me and put a long bolt in short hole and strip the threads, I had to retap it with a new bolt loads of hassle

 

[liffy16]

many thanks for that,just thinking about doing them before remap as it will be running about 350 after remap hopefully

 

[liffy16]

oh yea forgot to add its a 6, sbn1979 is remapping it

thanks fq-craigus good tip :O)

oil pan / sump should be 7nm :O) and the baffle plate if fitted inside are 22nm

the 2 short bolts are at the front near bottom pulley if i remember ?? make a note of where they come from


.good idea to change them but didnt you get new bolts with instructions and lube ???

if your staying with the standard conrods then I woldn't bother fitting uprated rod bolts, still haven't heard proof of standard rod bolts failing (other than wives tales)

 

[sponners]

just noticed your from oswestry (just down the road) what colour evo is it? might have seen you about.

 

[liffy16]

how do sponners,thinking about that one myself never heard of any bolts failing .just heard afew people recommend it when running about 350 with a 6.only had car about 7 weeks and its only used wkends (its reims blue).had impreza before running 320bhp/320lbft great car but no way would i go back to the old rollerskake!

 

[sponners]

ok mate, can't say I've seen it.


(did you text me a couple weeks back wanting a remap? got number off worms?)

 

[liffy16]

yes i did,are you at llanfyllin?doubt youve seen it yet what are you running

 

[sponners]

yes i did,are you at llanfyllin?doubt youve seen it yet what are you running

yah thats it mate, I got a 6 (theres a couple of pics of it on here somewhere)

not sure what power its running but its quick enough for these welsh hills lol.

 

[liffy16]

nice one sponners,more about brakes round here than power on this fine welsh tarmac,ideal evo country you could say

no need to waste your time and money, plus disturbing the bottom end. All failed rods ive seen have had the rod bolts fully intact, they don't snap.

 

[liffy16]

thanks for that rich ,thats finally made me mind up.not going to bother,plus ive just got back from tenerife so im skint anyway!
