Torque Specs for Power Plate Install

[ALBERTAN]

Planning on installing my Power Plate later this evening once things cool off. I checked the archives for a torque spec for the upper plenum bolts but all I got was Yeah, 20 lbs is plenty.. Anyone know the proper torque spec for these bolts? I understand they are very prone to stripping, so I'd like to get it right. Thanks.

Dean,

I've not seen an actual torque for these bolts in print. I usually just go hand tight. Based on the size of the fastener I would tell you not to exceed 15 ft lbs.

Good Luck

Before you remove the doghouse, check the torque on the bolts that are in there already. Sneak up on them a ft/lb at a time until you find the torque. Then duplicate it on reinstall. I'm betting 15-20 like 750HP said. It's not much more than "good and snug".

That was the plan if noone came up with a definite spec John. Thanks guys I'll give it a try.
