FPR to FD Body Torque?

[Funracer]

I know I have read it somewhere but been searching my Bentley and the forum and cannot find it.

Looking for the torque number for the 16mm nut FPR to fuel distributor body.



Thanks

There may be an obscure torque spec for that somewhere, but I haven't seen it. Maybe Tony has it. On copper washers, I tighten them enough that they don't leak, and just a touch more.

I have never torqued it. I do what PeteKz does. Not had an issue. If there was a number, it would be low, I don't crank on it til my arm hurts. <15 ftlb, prob less than 10.

1.3 to 1.5 mkp

1.4 mkp x 7.233 lb/ft = about 10.1 lb/ft or 121 inch pounds.

I have never torqued it either but troubleshooting a small issue and want to eliminate as many things as possible.

Thanks

What is item #1 (plug) in your post? It says it has a 10-mm ID seal. Could you post the corresponding diagram showing item #1? Thanks.

That seems to be from the 004. The 006 came in around '75.

Modifications April 1976 Maybe 006, 017

Please be aware that item #1 (plug) as posted by Dp is NOT the same nor close to the Primary Pressure Valve with push valve found in SC fuel distributors (-031/-077). They are not comparable by any means. We are comparing apples to oranges.

Never said they where the same. It’s safe to assume like materials with crush washer screwing into fuel distributor would have similar torque values.

This is all that I could find regarding Torque.


In case anyone is interested, this is a partial list of Bosch's Service kit for fuel distributors.

Thanks

FYI mine was way too tight. I had to get a longer handled ratchet to break it lose.
10-11 ft lbs is not much, but its not leaking so all good.
