Hi,
I’ve just bolted the sump back onto the block, with a new front oil seal.
The engine is still in the car, and (after reading the posts on this forum) everything went like a dream.
(- so far that is…we won’t be celebrating until it runs with no oil leaks).
For the life of me I can’t find a torque setting for the big nut that holds the harmonic balancer onto the crankshaft.
There is a post in the XJ40 section of this forum for 185-220Nm (140-160 ft lb).
Which roughly translates to bl…dy tight!
Should I wind mine up this tight?
Does anyone have any better info?
Thanks in advance.
Tony
I just looked at my Bentley manual and the Haynes Manual. Neither mention a torque value. And after a very brief search I see nothing in the archives. hopefully, an experienced e3ngine rebuilder will chime in
