TORQUE WRENCH
NOTE: When tightening the bolts using an offset wrench

and a torque wrench, the tightening torque value differs

from torque specification according to a torque wrench.

Before tightening the bolts, calculate actual torque value

by following formula.

27. Attach the torque converter to the drive plate with

eight bolts and torque:

Rotate the crankshaft as necessary to tighten the

bolts to 1/2 of the specified torque, then to the final

torque, in a crisscross pattern.

After tightening the last bolt, check that the crankshaft

rotates freely.
