2012 Southeastern FM6 convoy

[kumalaba]

Sorry to inform you all but I have to drop out of the convoy and miss FM6 this year due to family reasons and other stuff I cannot leave town for. I'm sure It will still be a great trip as it has been the last 3 times I've went , even without me. hate to do this 2 days before but it wasn't in my control some info i just received today and swayed my decision. Have a Blast take great pics and enjoy the weather forecast looks great!!

And hold it down For FL!

c ya next year rj!

HOPEFULLY tonight i can get the car in time, oil pump done, put valve cover and oil pan on, and wish it fire's. anyone help me as far as some stuff goes?

i really need to know if there are torque spec's for the 2 hub bolt's, lca bolt that goes through the hub, and the cv axle nut. and also, how would i get the car in time exactly? put the 1st cylinder in tdc, when the exhaust valve's open up?

[RhodeStiva]

so do we use walkies? i have a marine radio hand held

Axle nut is 185ft/lb, the other one I'm assuming you are talking about is the pinch bolt that holds the lower ball joint into the steering knuckle? If so it should be 40ft/lb. As for timing, on the cam sprocket there are two marks, you want them to be at 12oclock and 3 oclock postions when #1 is TDC.

[valelotax]

Ok, thanks. But what about the bolt's holding the hub to the strut? Just tight?

[Flyin4stroke]

There should be lock washers on the bolt and run down the nut pretty tight. You can't hurt nothing. Just make sure it is tight.

[M3NTAL]

Yeah make sure that pinch bolt is tight I had the ball joint jump out and almost ate the car next to me. Thank god it wasn't on the highway.

[htchbck]

Ok, thanks. But what about the bolt's holding the hub to the strut? Just tight?

Spec is 90ft/lb so yeah, run it up tight!
