I put on an intake, and I retorqued everything with no torque wrench. But I heard if you take it into service and everything is outta the torque spec they may deny you warranty. I plan to put everything back to stock before i take it in for some warranty.

Does anyone know the specific torque specs for the:
engine cover, intake tube clamp, maf sensor bolts, the spot with the pop-charger support and the other bolts needed to be adjusted for installing a z-tube/pop-charger ????

I also need the tq spec for the oil drain plug ??

 

who ever told you that should be hung out to dry.the techs dont check any torque readings while removing parts,also the majority of techs dont even use a torque whrench for anything.they all think they know better,btw ive worked in auto shops for 29 years.im a service mgr.

 

lol, taking the engine cover off voids the warrenty now?

 

My Infiniti service guy said the same thing, that the techs don't always use the torque wrench. I'm a little dissapointed. When I used to go to Costco with my previous car for wheel balancing or tires, they did use the wrench and I've watched them every time.

 

thats cause they are in the tire bus,just about every tire company has a policy about wheel off,s as they are called,and they mandate torque wrenches,which still are hardly used.most use what is called a torque stick.i think there are 9 different ones and they limit torque applied to the wheels,depending on which one is used.
