What should it be? Search didnt yield anything good, nor do I see a value in my haynes manual... Im thinking to just go with 44 ft-lbs, which is the manual trans torque spec...

Thanks

JMH

I think they are pipe threads, so you don't really torque them. I would guess that 44 ft-lbs would be fine.

One good yank on the wrench. You're not putting the cylinder head on a Formula One car here, just snug it down tight.

Good luck,

The factory maintenance manual says 50Nm. Most mechanics use 500+ Nm, as you will find out when you first remove these.
