Engine casing bolt torque settings for Denali soundbomb install

[jdaw]

As you can see from the Denali diagrams, it involves taking the engine casing bolts out and then reinserting and torquing in. It gives torque settings based on the length of the bolts but are there specific settings that these should be? Nothing in the manual or booklet I have

Thanks in advance

They are 6 mm bolts going into aluminum so it should be around 7 ft-lbs. If you go much higher, you risk stripping the threads in the case!

Really helpful thank you. I was going to try taking it out with my wrench at different settings to see what it had been set at

There is no reliable way to measure the installed tightening torque by measuring the loosening force. Static friction vs dynamic, bolt stretch, corrosion, heat/ cool cycles, etc are some of the many variables.

My Honda service manual states in general a torque of 7 ft-lb for 6 mm bolts.

Typically, breakaway torque (loosening) is much higher than the tightening torque applied originally.

Thank you both. Very helpful
