Valve adjustment nut torque... What torque do you use?
Hello everyone..
I'm adjusting my valves and am highly interested on what torque should be used for the adjustment nut. I used 20 ft-lb as suggested in another thread on this site and I stripped threads off of one of my adjustment screws.
Honestly, 240 (in-lb) 20 ft-lb seems like alot of torque here since the jamb nut is only 1/2 thickness. I was thinking that 120 in-lb (10 ft-lb) is pretty tight. I don't feel that I can get much more without stripping threads from the adjustment screws..
I am highly interested in your opinions as well as the factory torque spec.
I've seen another thread on Pelican that mentions 12-13 ft-lb.
