MG TD TF 1500 - Torque list

Has anyone a list of the various required torques required in assembling a XPAG engine please?

See http://www.ttalk.info/Clark/Torque%20Settings%20-%20XPAG.htm
Or, go to http://www.ttalk.info/ and click on Search/Tips at top and enter torque in the Search engine. Bud

This has been noted in the past. I believe that the torque setting for 8mm rocker tower bolts in WKF Wood’s manual is too high. Should be around 16 ft-lbs as in Dave Braun’s info that is also on Bud’s site.

Lonnie: torque the large rocker stand bolts to 43 foot-pounds, the small ones to 19 foot-pounds (published torque values are wrong)
From Tom Lange.
I also disagree with 33 F/P for the Gudgeon clamp bolts.

Correct Christopher.
Oh by the way REAR AXEL HUB NUT 170 - 200 LBFT
FRONT AXEL HUB NUT 40 - 70 LBFT

And more as in the MG TABC group files.

Also Mini Mania shows 22-25 F/P for the same size bolt
( 5/16" =7.9 MM)
