Torque setting

Post by les »

Can anyone tell me if there’s a torque setting for the set screws holding the Minor sump please ? I’ve spent a few hours refitting it with the engine in situ, a right game without a pit; laying on the floor.

I concur with that, it's in the Minor Manual as the same.
Page 19 of the printed book, aka page General Data 13 Torque Wrench Settings.

Working away from my manual unfortunately, hence the query, nice of you to confirm. Thanks to ampwhu I had time to finish the job this evening. Hope it doesn’t leak, not as easy as doing it on the bench.
