Post What are the oil cooler lines torque specs?

<img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/oil_cooler1.gif" alt=" - " />

I just installed these two lines and am curious as to their toques specs. Considering the Craftsman wrenches that fit the nuts are 1.5 feet long I could easily put 100 ft/lbs of torque on them but that seems a little much. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> So does anyone know the correct torque values for them?

Thanks in advance.
John

Come on fella's I know I'm not the only one who's installed a motor and you have to disconnect these lines to remove/install a motor. So who's gonna be the lucky gent/lady who win's the "thanks for helping me finish installing my motor" prize?

I do not know the answer or how you can actually be able to read torque with an open wrench... maybe there is another tool I need to justify purchasing with the work I have to do in my car...

Since those are compression fittings and should seal with minimal torque, I would think that you will need to adjust them until they do not leak...

I would like to know also since I have to install mine soon...

johne,

Don't know the answer. On a scale of 1-10 how hard was the job?

Just looked in the technical spec book for 951. Didn't see it spec'd out.
