It depends on the engine, and is always stated in the vehicle manual. ( which is one excellent reason for always using the relevant manual when working on things you don't know about ) . -On most of the cars I have worked on the crankshaft pulley is tightened to between 95 and 110 foot pounds.

How do you loosen the crankshaft bolt on a 1993 Honda Accord EX?

Removing the crankshaft pulley bolt on a Honda is a real job if you don't have the special tool. I used to use an impact gun that produces over 750 ft/lbs of torque and still couldn't get them loose! Not to worry...the tool is not that much and you can find one at DenLorsTools.com. With this tool, the job is much easier. Hope this helps.

What are the torque specs for a 99 Chevy s-10 4.3?

Do you want to know how much torque the powertrain for this vehicle puts out or the torque spec for a certain bolt. If its a bolt you need to let us know what you are trying to tighten.


What order do you tighten the valve covers on a Chevrolet 350?

Tighten them down in a criss cross pattern. Make sure to tightem them evenly and to exactly 3 lb/ft of torque, which is not very much. More or less and they will leak. Re-check the torque after driving for 100 miles.


What is the purpose of a hydraulic torque wrench?

Much like any other type of wrench, a hydraulic torque wrench is used to tighten or loosen fasteners, such as nuts. The difference is that the torque is created by hydraulic means (think pressurized liquid).


Why would there be smoke under the hood after changing sepentine belt in 97 Ford Taurus?

Sounds like the belt is slipping. Try pulling the belt tighter and tighten up the pulley tighter than you did before. Torque it down pretty good, though not too much. Engine vibration will loosen it.

What is the major difference between a high-speed and a high-torque drill?

The speed of a drill is defined as how many RPM's of the chuck. The TORQUE of a drill is defined as how many "ft/lbs" the chuck can transfer to a drill bit. Imagine the drill has a pulley connected to the chuck and the pulley has a radius of 1 ft. Connect a string to the pulley and see how much weight the drill can lift. If the drill could lift 25 pounds using that 1 ft radius pulley, it is developing 25 ft/lbs of torque. The weight may be lifted very slowly or very rapidly, depending on the RPM's of the chuck, but the torque will be determined by how much weight the drill would lift. Both are important characteristics of a drill. If the motor is weak, the manufacturer may use gearing to provide more torque, but if the chuck is turning slowly, you won't get much work done. If the motor is larger, the manufacturer may not need to use gearing to give you the same torque.
