m103 connecting rod bolt torque
 

Does anyone know what you are supposed to torque the connecting rod bolts on the m103 to? In lb/ft please.

Go to the local library and pick up a mitchells manual and copy the pages you need. Thats what I did for the torque specs on my cyilnder head.

30nm / 22 lbft with 90-100 deg angle of rotation.

Suggest using new bolts as you don't know the stretch in the old bolts.

Mercedes has a special tool for everything but just oil the threads and torque initially to 22lbft.

After you finish the last cap go back and retorque in sequence two more times.

Thanks just what I needed.
