Roller Cam Thust Plate Retaining Bolt Torque ?
Hi Guys,
Presently working on a Cam upgrade.
I looked at both the factory service manual and the threads and could not find any information about the specified bolt torque for the following:
Roller Cam Thrust Plate ( Cam Retainer) Bolt (Torx) Torque.
1987 Block.
Any ideas?
Best Regards,
Bruce

Thanks for the response.
Shall I use a thread locker? Red or Blue?
Thrust plate Number : GM 10088128 : For TPI

If you torque a fastener properly, it doesn't need thread locker.

Thanks Guys,
Yes, this fastener is somewhat small.
Relative to the cam bolts, not much clamping force.
Too bad GM did not provide a torque specification.

Hi Guys,
Just talked to LPE.
LPE looked-up the GM torque settings for this bolt.
Torque = 12 NM or 106 inch-pounds.
Install with red threadlocker.
