<VV> Crankcase bolts torque

[shortle]

Right. 7-13 is the torque specs for 5/16 18 thread per inch bolts. Be sure to clean and lube (oil) all threads that go into aluminum. Or use an antiseize thread formula.

>Just a sanity check... The 8 bolts that hold the crankcase halves together are to be torqued to 50-55 ft-lbs. There is a torque spec of 7-13 listed but that's just for the one bolt in the oil sump... Right?
