QLD Weekend at Amec 29th and 30/11

hahaha , and what type would that be

depending on my finance and possible time to buy a zed i might actually be close to brisbane around then, fingers crossed.

 

Well i spose i'd better release Trevy for good behaviour....lol he filled me in on whats happening and what you guys need to do yet etc. It'll be a good and hopefully productive day...

 

A brunette with big tits and a Black zed

 

i prefer blondes that are mute but that will suffice!!!

 

i could drop round

not sure if i'll be able to lend a hand thou depends on time will have to get
my place ready for poker for sat nite..

 

I'll prolly drop in and watch/steal drinks.

 

I plan to do the same haha, I have bad work ethics

 

Remeber to angle torque the heads too Mikey, be a shame to have to pull it all out again...

 

Pete will be there I assume...

Print off some of the workshop manual, it is quite detailed in that regard.

 

I've got the tension wrench sorted and I know how to torque down heads.

The gasket kit should have 3 stage torque settings printed on the packet.

 

Hey man, im pretty sure i got out of work on saturday so will be there cant afford to have sunday off too though... i would have been putting my motor together around now too still devo'd lol

 

listen to Chrispy. Angle torque, not just torque wrench, yes the book gives the option, but angle torque is more correct if prepared properly. Chrispy is almost an engineer, he'll explain the reasons for it.

 

You like rubbing that in don't you Vic

Angle torquing ensures that you have equal tension in the bolts. Torquing a bolt will give different tensions within the bolt depending on the condition of the threads, type and amount of lubrication and the condition and quality of the wrench. With angle torquing you ensure that the tolerance on the tension is much smaller by dong the bolts up the same amount of turns, rather than doing it up till it's a certain amount of 'hardness to turn'.

 

Yeah the most resistance is trying to overcome the friction of the actual threads and the seating surface of the bolt

It also works the other way too, if you use some super duper lubricant that really reduces the friction in theses areas then you can overtorque them just as easily as you can undertorqe, and thats no good with these fussy stretch bolts

 

I've seen people do it with a protractor and a breaker bar
