Does anyone in the socal area happen to have an inch-lb torque wrench that they can kindly let me borrow or even help me out with my Motordyne 5/16 spacer install? My first time doing it so I wanna get the bolts back into spec and having someone with experience installing it there to help me would give me peace of mind. Let me know if you can help, I'd appreciate it. thanks!

 

ehh dont use a tq wrench just go by feeling.. you can create 10inch lb of tq by tightening the bolt with a rubber glove on..

they're very easy to snap and alot of guys snapped it using a tq wrench..

i don't know anyone personally that uses a tq wrench for spacer installs these days =/

 

yeah cause 1/4 of them use to snap their bolts.. we had a dozen posts within 10 pages at home point on guys barrowing easy-out kits lol

I have one... stop by a meet and I'll bring what you need.

You need 3/8 or 1/2?

 

Oh wait... that would mean I have more than one... lol

 

it be a 3/8 lol with a 10mm on it adjusted to 10inch lb

 

You should use a 1/4 torque wrench when you using inch lb. You get a better feel then using 3/8.

 

^ yeah but he only listed 1/2 or 3/8 =P

just hand tight!! trusttt.. if u dont want to do it yourself.. $20 and 15min will take care of it =)

 

I don't have a 1/4" drive torque wrench =O

torque wrenches are expensive you know...

 

eric, i might get a 5/16 iso thermal. i'll shoot u a PM.

 

I got mine at Harbor Freight for $19.95. Worked great.

 

yep! i snapped a bolt like that...

 

if you do go get a cheap cheap tq wrench get one with a needle and make sure you dont drop or touch that needle..

in terms of cheap tq wrenches the needle ones are better.. cheap clickers are generally crap wrenches..

BTW make sure you buy one with INCH POUNDs!!

 

The torque spec on the plenum is 100 in/lb. I don't think you can hand-tighten to that spec.
