Water header bolts

Anonymous-0 · Sep 22, 2008

Any suggestions on the torque for the water header cover bolts on an H? I used Hi Tack on all surfaces and have it at 15 lbs. right now. The bolts are only 5/16" so I'm a little paranoid about going too far. Thanks for any suggestions.

Just snug them. You should feel when it is enough.

That is one of the things that is not critical, not like a head gasket for example. Just snug them. If I remember right that is a cork gasket, you don't want to compress it too much.

It's a fiber gasket of some kind, the cover on the other side is cork. I think I'll leave it where it is. After I let it sit awhile I could torque it again and get quite a bit out of it due to the gasket compressing over time. I feel like it will start to squeeze out if i keep going.

like the other guys said, dont tighten it any more, you will either squeeze the gasket out, break the bolts off or bend the tin.
