Can anyone look up the rod nut torque on the 3.0L S2 motor. I am away from my computer and manuals, and need the spec. Memory is telling me 18ft/lbs plus 90 degrees, but I can't look it up at the moment to verify.

Standard 2.5L is 55 + 4, I do recall that.

TIA!

Sorry to threadjack, but what does the "+ 4" in the 55 + 4 mean?

Torque all to 55, then go to 59 on all of them.

I did 55 + 4 on my 968.

968 manuals list the torque at 18ft/lbs plus 90 degrees on the 3.0L motor. My torque wrench showed that to be about 66-68ft/lbs

Hmm. Now I can't remember. I know that every single bolt/nut on the engine that called for a torque angle, I checked with my beam torque wrench. So maybe I did more than 59. I hate torque angles and I always try to figure out a number and then go to that number. FWIW the diy on pelican's site says 55+4.

Edit: I remember now, I did 18 + 90* then checked to see if they all clicked at 59.
