Another torque value for your chart....

Fixkick,

I was reading the 95 fsm in the water pump section. They give a torque value for the dipstick tube holder at 97 lb.in.

They call it "Engine oil level indicator tube to engine"

It's on page 6B-11.

97in/lb = 8ft/lb
It looks reasonable. Its just they misplace the lb with in. I notice that it the gm books. Who ever worked on these FSMs probably had no clue What they are doing. Seams like they had just to copy it from suzuki and they asked a 3rd grader to do it.

all 6mm bolts are 98 INCH pounds, or divided by 8 ( 80 to 100 inch/lbs on the torque page) 6MM IS A VERY SMALL BOLT AND IN ALUMINUM, (THINK 6MM TINY ALUM. THREADS)
the aluminum side is the limiting factor here,.
is 8 FOOT /Pounds.
if you use 97 POUNDS it will strip out, and the GM books even make this great blunder.
the largest of all blunders is stripping out the cam caps. OMG , new head time.

i marked this clearly on my torque page.

see that green, that is INCH.

the ISO bolt spec is here, see (XX) those are ISO spec, inch/pounds for ONLY the bolt , NEVER aluminum
suzuki gets the last word here, not ISO. but is a guide to finding crazy statememts in any GM book.

here is the I.S.O. page
those numbers are for the bolt only (or a matching nut and bolt)

and suzuki gets the rule on aluminum, its their engine.
