Title: Valve body bolts
Post by: wideopen231 on January 18, 2018, 06:24:00 PM

Always looking to cut weight anyway I safely can. Getting order together for aluminum bolts for car. Places like 4 x 3/8 bolts for hat,14 or so for transmission pan and others. Wondering how much TQ is needed to keep valve body sealed up? Lots of bolts there and while not a lot of weight its weight I can shave off car, e ven replacing every other one would help. So how much TQ needed on bolts. This is just valve body not valve body to case bolts.

Valve body to case and valve body bolts are 13.5 to 15 ft/lbs
