Doing compression test on my 300DT - had to pull off the injector off of #2 - reinstalled the new heat shield but now I need to confirm the torque.

According to the FSM I have it's 7-8 kpm - I did that but it somehow doesn't seem like it's tight enough. What should it be in Foot Pounds!?

Please help -

THanks,
James

55 is what I use, no sealing problems yet but I use new heat shields every time too.
