Apparently, a paper from Turbo City with schema and spec for K-26 has a
mistake. I just snapped (damn!!!!!!!!!!!) turbo shaft trying to torque
compressor nut to specified in the paper 15 lb/ft. I called another
turbo place and they told me that the spec is 105 lb/in which about 9
lb/ft.
Lacking experience to feel the needed torque by hand I am scared to
death to torque exhaust manifold nuts. Some of them spin too much. The
spec from Bentley is 30 n/m. Is it right? What does "pulled stud"
mean? A stud is forced out stripping thread on the way? What is the
fix? Drill for larger thread?
Thank you.
