Bellhousing to Engine torque specs (real time)

[Mikesta]

I've looked in the Body and the Engine manual for the 2F. I've also searched here on mud for "bell housing torque" and "bell housing specifications", "bell housing specs" Etc.

I see the specifications for the Flywheel in the book.

I've also seen threads here with all the specs. If you have it handy, please pm me or reply. Thanks

I realize your trying to be precise and thats always good, but I've never torqued a bellhousing, partly because it is in some awkward areas. But the torque isn't that critical, it just needs to be tight, i'd say around 80 ft lbs, I always just use a 1/2'' impact though

i looked through the second 2f manual, and could not find anything on the subject.

 

[Mikesta]

ok, great, I'm not going crazy... yet... and how the heck did you get your inpact in there!!!

I thought there was a standard bolt torque chart somewhere that specs out grade, diameter, and pitch. Use those numbers when nothing is listed in the manual.

I would think that even an inexpensive 1/2 impact would be way over 80#. John

I've always just tightened them with a 1/2" drive and have never had any problems. Don't worry about it too much

Good times guys. I'm all zipped up and ready to join the tranny/engine together. Thanks so much for the help! I was going crazy with search here, after 45 minutes searching the FSM and here... I gave up.

I've been searching and looking for a while. I wanted to torque it all right, but i'm goin w/ the good nuff method on these. Full 2F rebuild, trans and xfer case built, ready to mate and burn rubber.

I think the bellhousing to block bolts are the same bolt as the transmission to bellhousing bolt (M12).
If that's the case then the torque spec is 47 ft-lbs

Thanks! I was going to torque to 47 on it. Last time I mounted it, I used blue loctite with no correct torques. I’ve spent a considerable amount of time cleaning threads...won’t be doing that again. Using never seize and torquing to spec this time.
