Fastener Tightening Tolerances & Torque Sequence
Always lubricate fastener threads with clean engine oil prior to torquing unless dry assembly is specified. Tighten all fasteners in alternating spiral sequences starting from center bolts outward.
| Component / Fastener Location | Torque Tolerance Specification |
|---|---|
| Rocker Arm Shaft Bracket Bolts | 136–149 N·m (100–110 lb-ft) |
| Unit Injector Clamp Hold-Down Nut | 27–34 N·m (20–25 lb-ft) |
| Exhaust Valve Rocker Locknuts | 47–54 N·m (35–40 lb-ft) |
| Governor Control Linkage Clamp Screws | 14–16 N·m (120–140 lb-in) |
| Fuel Supply Jumper Line Fittings | 16–19 N·m (12–14 lb-ft) |
| Cylinder Head To Block Fasteners | 380–407 N·m (280–300 lb-ft) |
