So I'm in the process of putting my engine back together and I can't find torque specs for everything. As a result when installing the cam plate I broke one of the bolts off. I really don't want to just guess. I guess what i really need is specs for the lifter hold down, cam plate, oil pan, timing cover, heads, intake, and accessories.

any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

 

I'm inside for the night, and my Chiltons manual is outside, is it a 350 or 305? Can I ask, do you have a Chilton's manual, have you considered getting one?

 

It doesn't matter if it is a 305 or a 350.

Rather than type out all the specs you need, here's a link to the very first site that was listed when I did a google search for 'chevy small block torque specs': http://www.boxwrench.net/specs/chevy_sb.htm

 

for the intake... http://tpiparts.net/tpi_torque_specifications

 

wow, for some reason I remember searching for that before and had trouble finding what I was looking for. Plus I was a little tired and frustrated last night. Thanks for the quick replies!

 

two things that weren't on the first site listed:

Thrust plate: 8 - 10 ft/lbs
Lifter holdown spider: 18 ft/lbs

Found the lifter holdown spider spec in an installation guide for edelborock lifters, unfortunately didn't have the same luck with the thrust plate.

edit: found thrust plate for ford engines, should be about the same???
