Torquing up the throughbolts....

[Jim_rx7]

Curious as to what people torque them up to?

I\'ve read in a few places in the past that you can get some blowby (if that\'s the right word), if you torque up to the factory values.


Anyone?

I don\'t think there is a set way of doing it, just torque up to Factory settings then test. If you get any leakage go up in small jumps to be on the safe side (i\'d say 2lbs a time) and test between jumps.

You may find if you are using stock seals over tightening may not be necessary but its better to be safe than sorry.

ok, Can\'t say i\'ve ever used them? tbh i had some bad run ins with aftermarket water seals so i only use OE Mazda now.

Yeah, I\'ll see how these go.
