Thread: Interpreting torque specs.

I swapped my new 105lb valve springs onto my heads (I still need to do a valve job, actually) but I was wondering how I'm supposed to interpret these torque specs I found from WBS for the rocker arm bolts:

Valve Rocker Arm Bolt 15 + 90?Nm (11 + 90?ft. lbs.)

I did 25ft/lbs for each rocker bolt, and so far no problems. That's what one of the mods here recommended to me, make sure to use a little loc-tite on them too.

Thanks dude. I was just worried about over-torquing.

But how you read that is 11 ft lbs + 90 degrees, so you go till it clicks and another 1/4 turn past it to set the TTY bolt. But if you are using reuseable bolts that doesen't fly.
