Listed below are a number of nuts and bolts for which it has been found necessary to determine torque settings. It is most
important that these settings are strictly adhered to. Over-tightening or non-uniform tightening of the cylinder head and
barrel nuts for instance, can cause distortion, resulting in loss of compression, increased engine wear and poor fuel
economy.

The use of “Locktite AVV Red” is recommended on the clutch centre nut.
When using an extension however, the wrench dial reading must be altered according to the following formula, in
order to achieve the recommended torque load.
For example:—To obtain a torque load of 30 lb./ft. when using a two foot long wrench with a six inch extension, the
dial reading would be calculated in the following manner:—
30 × 24
Wrench dial reading = Therefore = 24 lb./ft.
