NOTE

Always use the torque values listed above when specific torque values are not available.

Do not use above values in place of those specified in other sections of this manual;

special attention should be observed when using SAE Grade 6, 7, and 8 capscrews.

The above is based on use of clean, dry threads.

Reduce torque by 10 percent when engine oil is used as a lubricant.

Reduce torque by 20 percent if new plated capscrews are used.

Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30 percent or

more of Grade 5 capscrews and must attain two capscrew diameters of thread

engagement.
