Compressor Torque Procedure
Head Assembly:
Torque Value: 34 ft-lbs
Procedure: Assemble head on the cylinder with head bolts
started only, not tight. Working in the pattern shown, torque
three times, increasing the torque each time as follows:
First Torque: 10 ft-lbs
Second Torque: 20 ft-lbs
Third Torque: 34 ft-lbs
After five hours of use re-torque bolts to 34 ft-lbs.
Cylinder Assembly:
Torque Value: 20 ft-lbs
Procedure: After assembling cylinder over pistons and setting into place, tighten (6) cap
screws finger tight. In a criss-cross pattern, tighten bolts evenly so all bolts are hand snug.
Again in a criss-cross pattern torque each bolt to 20 ft-lbs, checking each bolt twice. After
five hours of use, re-torque bolts to 20 ft-lbs.
Connecting Rod Control:
Torque Value: 18 ft-lbs
Procedure: Assemble rod onto the crankshaft taking care to align the machined surfaces
together and tighten cap screws finger tight. Tighten bolts until hand tight and torque to 18
ft-lbs. Check twice the torque reading before final assembly of the cylinders.
