What Manual Are Engine Torque Spec's Listed?
I am pulling some of my engine apart soon to replace gaskets and clean it up. My GM Shop Manual has trouble shooting suggestions and some engine re-assembly procedures, but no torque spec sheet. WTF?? The shop manual for my year ('77) covers all Chevy passenger cars, and is not Vette specific. Thanks and Happy New Year :cheers: :cheers:

From my understanding the Helm's Manuals are the only way to go. Got mine on order and it should be here soon. Have a Haynes though and if you let me know what torques you need and they're in mine I'll post away.

The AIM has them as well for most areas. They're just a little hard to decipher.

I forgot about the AIM.... What's great about it is that it has the torque for every little screw also. Anything that's fastened has a torque setting in the AIM, not just the mechanical like the Service manual.
Of course, a lot of people think that the right torque is "tighten until you strip the threads and then back off 1/4 turn.....".

Thanks a Ton Armstrong. I want to jump on the job and not have to wait for the Mailman. (time to tinker is so fleeting) I need Rocker Cover, Oil Pan, and Trans Pan specs for a 77 L-48 350Automatic. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
