A true inch pound torque wrench will be a 1/4" drive and they are accurate.

 

Don't use that for any inch pound bolt.

 

Got it. I wont.

Any suggestions on a decent digital inch lbs torque wrench? Don't see anything in stock locally so I'll just have to order it. Heading to home depot and Lowe's now just to double check. Ace and harbor freight just closed.

 

 

Good thing I have a ton of 1/4 sockets already!

 

The only place I would worry about inch lb is the pan, those will warp the sheet metal if too tight. Anything smaller than 13mm just get firmly tight.
I stand corrected, blame pre coffee brain.; 89 INCH pounds, that is slightly past finger tight by about a quarter to half turn.

Torque specs are for things like head bolts and critical things that need to be evenly or consistently tightened. The ones with a torque plus angle are critical.
See if you can find a torque wrench that has ever been used in a mechanic's tool box.

 

I would rather do everything legit. Except for the flex pipe bolts. I put 330 ft lbs to those. Took more than that to get off.

I got the turbo exhaust exit on. O2 sensor. Manifold cover. Thermostat. Re insterted passenger side hose on thermostat.

Now it's time for the water pump..

anyone know which bolts go where?

 

The long one from the front above the front cover, the 2 shorter bolts in from the transmission side on the back of the water pump. Save the last for after you install the front cover.


Here’s the dimensions of those bolts

 

Thank you!

 

I did post that DDM tutorial about VVT Ecotec assembly, loads of information in that.
