pidge Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Good day fellas, just got a manual in the mail I ordered online for the 521. If anyone needs any info regarding something let me know and I will do my best to take photos of the section and post it for you. It’s seems to be a prehistoric Haynes type manual. I don’t think it’s the actual mechanics one, but it may help someone. Just throwing it out there. -Pidge 1 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Does it have torque specs? I need to know the torque spec of the bolts that hold the cam towers to the head. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 4.3-6.5 ft lbs. I'd stay on the light side as one of the head bolts (60 ft lbs) holds them down too. Once snugged down you should be able to spin the cam by hand. 1 Quote Link to comment
pidge Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Mainer I’ll check for you tomorrow morning and if so I’ll take a pic of the page(s) for you. -Pidge 1 Quote Link to comment
DanielC Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 That is the original OEM Nissan service manual. It does not have any engine information, Nissan made a different manual for the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment
pidge Posted January 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 “Chassis & body” at work right now, but I’m sure your correct Daniel. -Pidge 1 Quote Link to comment
