T O R Q U E LIMITS
SCOPE.
G-1.
a. This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table G-1, and provides general information for
applying torque.
b. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in the maintenance procedures for
applicable components.
GENERAL.
G-2.
a. Always use the torque values listed in Table G-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a
specific torque value.
b. Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be 10%.
c. Torque values listed are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a
lubricant.
d. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.
e. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5
engagement.
