“What is a torque spec for 500 Alex”
Torque specs are really really important and not enough people know that to be the case
It's no fun at all having to tap an engine block because someone didn't RTFM. I've done it twice (on the same car 3 years apart) because my brother didn't RTFM the first time, and then still hadn't when he tried to do the water pump on his Subaru the second time. I told him that the next time it needs done to call me and I'll do it for him for the cost of parts. He just has to call me and not fucking touch it.
For those that don't know: RTFM stands for Read The Fucking Manual.
They'd know what RTFM meant if they RTFM.
In other cases torque spec was pulled out of the tech writers rectum to avoid having people ask.
For that bolt, I'd say give it 5 ugga-duggas and call it good.
