Jesinator Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Total newb here (both with ratsun and engines lol). I am right in the middle of rebuilding my L20B and I snapped one of the bolts that hold in the crankshaft (I assume I named it correctly in the title..). Is there a place one can buy a set of these bolts or buy them individually? I can't find them anywhere online. Maybe a local parts place carries them..(?) Any help appreciated. :) And in case you are wondering how it happened, neither of my torque wrenches seem to be clicking above 54 lbs and they are both rated for beyond 100. i dont remember the exact figures. Maybe a little help there too? The book says 60 ft-lbs for those bolts so I am not sure exactly what I did wrong. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Welcome to Ratsun B) Try Nissan for the bolt/bolts. It's very strange that you could actually break one, never heard of that before. Troutdale Or? Quote Link to comment
Jesinator Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks! Yeah i was pretty surprised myself. I had my wrench set to 55 after doing them all 20, then 40, then 50. And yes, Troutdale Or Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I get the main bearing cap bolts 33-40 ft. lbs. You're 50% to almost 100% high. Quote Link to comment
Jesinator Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 oh wow....lol thanks. Much less stressed on how the heck i was going to torque those without snapping more. Also, i finally found the bolts! The Nissan dealer actually can't get them anymore but I found grade 8 ones at Coastal F&R and Home Depot. M10 1.5x70. Quote Link to comment
