Assembly lube and general torque specs

Post by tkekfs » Wed Aug 09, 2006 2:14 pm

I have cleaned all the engine parts and am beginning reassembly after a complete teardown.

Should I use some kind of special assembly lubricant or is 30 weight engine oil just as good?

Also the manual I have has torque specs for some specific nuts but not a general specification for odds and ends. For all the miscellaneous parts that bolt into the aluminum case what should I torque the fasteners to?

Are there any specific bolts or nuts that need a special torque that I might forget?

Thanks,
Kevin.

I began assembled the shifter and transmission over the weekend. I ended up using a generic assembly lube that comes in a tube from autozone. It is definitely much thicker than regular weight oils which worked out to be cleaner and should protect better. It says it dissolves in engine oil and I assume that will apply to the non-detergent variety also.
