1966 intake manifold bolt

Re: 1966 intake manifold bolt

I agree. I should have explained better. You will need to adjust (lower) the torque wrench setting if you add any distance to the "efffective length" or "lever arm length" the torque wrench. Even if you mount the socket at 45 degrees.

Torque is defined as FORCE X LENGTH. So any change in LENGTH is directly proportional to the TORQUE or FORCE applied. The common units for Torque is in-lbs or ft-lbs. But the correct engineering term is lb-inch or lb-ft.

There's a guy named Taryl on youtube who does a a lot of small engine stuff and his famous quote after tightening bolts using his years of experience :
"It aint the space shuttle"

Re: 1966 intake manifold bolt

Gary,
They are .625 and hide under the washed bolt. Also about .030 thin. Good news is that I have some other washers MADE for aluminum work, surplus from the 60's that are about .015 thick and the same .065, and hide well under a bolt. The aluminum I have are no longer obtained as far as I know but would have been my choice under my intake bolts.
Carmelo, I have them ready to send. If you are going to be judged then I should send the aluminum. I will send pictures as soon as I can.
