Subject:main bearing torque
From:Mark Seifert

What is the torque spec for the main bearings on a 2.1 waterboxer(the 4 cap
nuts inside the water jacket, and the two nuts on the outside?) The manual
that I have (NOT Bentley) says 22 lbs/ft. This doesn't seem like it's tight
enough. I expect to receive ridicule for trying to rebuild a waterboxer
without the Bentley manual, but I've made it this far without it...so if
anyone could take the time to look it up for me, I would greatly appreciate
it.
