  • Re: 5hp B&S flathead head bolt torque?

    From Clody@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 14 03:15:04 2022
    140 inc pound (15.93 Nm ) looks like too much, big chance fore the 5/16 bolts been broken off, i belive more off 45-50 inch pound ( 4-5 Nm)

    What John said.

    If you don't believe it, torque a bolt + nut to destruction yourself. Try to notice the change in feel when it starts to let go.

    You're confusing FOOT pounds with INCH pounds . 140 In/lbs is less
    than 12 ft/lbs .
