Torking head today and need number of foot pounds, and the sequence. I usually start with the center two bolts, then opposite sides alternating up & down back...
I just happen to be next to my tech manuals and scanner at the moment. Use motor oil on the bolts and torque to 83 N-m (61.21757 lbf-ft) using the sequence in...
Should have also said to re-torque after a few miles. Most folks seem to recommend that you loosen a quarter turn or so, then re-torque to spec. DJ _____ From:...

Hi James; Sequence is the same as you'll find in your X-1/9 manual, you can probably get away with the "X" pattern you describe but the "official" FIAT torque...
Holy crap, DJ- do they have to be at 273.15K and zero hygro?! :) Use motor oil on the bolts and torque to 83 N-m (61.21757 lbf-ft) using the sequence in the...
It's in Neu-tron Metres...bwah ha ha...74-76 pounds outta get ya there..I didn't read anyone elses posts but I'm very practiced on replacing head gaskets!!! ...
Isn't there a head gasket manufacturer that states that no re-torquing is necessary with it's product? Guido <harfkanarf@...> wrote: It's in Neu-tron...
Mike; You are a little high according to FIAT, but I doubt with stock compressions and pump gas you are likely to be popping off any bolts- of greater concern ...
Huh? Where you been, man? I've missed you. Haven't seen you at Lancisti either. Just added a feature you suggested. Go over and see what you think of the ...
I'll probably live to regret it but I've just added a blog feature to the Lancisti site for registered users. So if you've ever wanted your very own web log,...

I purchase some used 15" rims last week, the correct bolt pattern & off-set. The interior hub hole in the rim is a fraction small, which will require widening....

Oops. I tried the map feature and it won't work for me with either Firefox or IE. Don't know if its my problem or not. The download section is un-hozed now...
The centre bore can be machined on a lathe, if you can find one thats big enough to accept a wheel. I find wheels with studs and nuts much easier than cars...
Thanks for the heads up, Kevin. I had to flip a couple additional switches. You should be good to go now. DJ _____ From: LanciaScorpion@yahoogroups.com...

... From: James Kent Should I drill the holes in the rims to accommodate the wheel alignment studs. I could switch over to wheel studs & lug nuts, eliminating...
I use a little desktop converter program for all those fancy conversions so I just pasted the number in from it. The real point was that the actual lbf-ft...
Interesting solution Will. A 6 inch rod, half threaded, half with splines or something for a little grip may work very well. I will have to figure out how to...
If you install locking nuts or bolts be sure to equalize the weight of the locks to the other fasteners. IE the weight of the locking fastener should be the...
I devised my own wheel anti theft device from a different tool. The attachment in the left hand side of the picture protects you from up to 50 wheel...
A better joke would have been, build a fire, melt them down and re-cast them correctly. It's retentive and funny. As for road worthy, it getting close. Head...
... Great job, Luis!! Re. rough idle. Doubtful it's the O2 sensor (imo). The standard one-wire sensor doesn't get hot enough at idle to read properly anyway ...
Hi Chris, thanks For you help.. it was your T/body, and a ride on your sweet goldielocks that . got me thinking of this F.I. project, and a few years later...
