Need Torque Specs!

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Hello there, quite frankly I don't feel like searching around and trying to find all of them so if you can be kind enough to bring them here to this post I would greatly appreciate it and it may help someone in the future the were to search

Head Bolts
Oil Pump (think this is like 9 ft/lbs)
Cam Caps
Oil Pan (think this is 84 in/lb or 7 ft/lbs)

And I dont have the torque specs for my rods which have ARP 2000 rod bolts. So anyone know the torque specs for those rod bolts? Pretty sure they are in like all rods just about.

Thank you and have a good day.

O yeah, Im tearing the car apart tomorrow and over the weekend.

Going in are:

Pauter rods
AEB Forged 20mm Pistons
New Rings
ACL Calico coated rod bearings
AEB head
Schrick 252/260 cams
New oil pump

Are leaving the block in the car or pulling the whole engine?

in car

cam caps are 10n-m

oil pump is 'nice and tight'

head. I forget but john or Jordan knows

You'll have to convert these.
Head bolts-2 stage 40Nm+180 degrees, 2 90s are ok
Cam caps-10Nm
Oil Pump-16Nm
Oil Pan-7mm 15Nm, 10mm 40Nm
Rods- 30Nm+90 degrees (These are factory bolts, so I'd check)
Let me know if you need others

50-55 ft/lbs for the arp rod bolts...... well forget it. I will quote another post with all that info.

OK, it sounds like it is time to straighten a few things out regarding rod bolts.

This all applies to the ARP 2000 bolts- NOT the factory bolts!

Under normal usuage, assuming they are not overtorqued in the first place, they are operating within the elastic portion of their stress strain curve so they ARE reusable.

The only way to really determine 100% if they are acceptable to reuse is to measure them brand new, record those values, and compare to them when you go to reuse them. This will tell you if an over rev or some other event has damaged them in use.

The proper torque is 50 to 55 ft-lbs, using the ARP Lube. DO NOT follow the factory torque procedures, I have never tried to see what torque that equates to, but in any case, the proper torque is 50 to 55 ft-lbs with the ARP Lube. You can also do them directly off of stretch if you have a gauge, .006"- but most people don't have a rod bolt stretch gauge.

They should also be torqued (to about 50) and broken loose, twice, and then torqued to the final torque- this burnishes the threads and makes sure everything is worn in so that the torque readings give an accurate preload on the joint.

I think that should set straight most of the stuff on this thread regarding bolt torque. I tried to keep it pretty brief.

Sorry about the not price matching- purems doesn't list what brand any of their products are, and the day you called I tried to call them and they were already closed for the day. After that it just sort of got lost in the cloud of stuff to do before we left for vacation.

That's why I told him to double check.

Thanks, I don't need to convert, I will just use the Nm

[dirtybrd]

Werd!

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Need more specs please.

Crank bearing cap bolts
Flywheel bolts

[dirtybrd]

I'll get them in the morning.

[dougyfresh]

DMFW: 22.5mm OEM bolts is 60Nm plus 90deg

pressure plate bolts are 22Nm with loctite

[Audi Skate Snow]

65Nm plus 90 degree further for crankshaft bearing cap TQ

60Nm Plus 180 Degrees for flywheel to crank shaft

this needs to be in the sticky... very useful info

[GarbatyA4]

How many miles on the motor? isn't honing required?

[A4 TSCHUSS]

The motor IS being honed as well as more clearance being put in the cylinders to allow the Forged pistons since they expand more than cast. Needed an extra roughly .020 shaved to have .035 clearance between piston and wall and 80,000 miles are on the engine.

BobQ gave me .030 with my Wisecos, might wanna stay on the safe side

[A4 TSCHUSS]

The bentley says .035 for the AEB piston to wall clearance. Here ya go click here

[dirtybrd]

AEB pistons are a different forged aluminum then aftermarket ones, i assume to keep the noise on cold starts down.

[A4natomical]

this is definitely a big help.

No, thats .003" not 0.30" lol... The stock clearances are .0015" according to the Bentley

And David, I would shoot for .002" MINIMUM, I repeat, MINIMUM for aftermarket forged pistons
