Required torque - Rocker Pivot Bushing

Post by drieseck »

Hello, can't seem to find the recommended torque for the pivot bushing (into head)? Any knowledge or recommendations appreciated. Thanks Dave

Bushing ? The ball stud of the valve adjustment bolt locknut ? I've always locked the nut by hand tight , with pro style long wrenches , as you hold the bolt thread adjuster , it would require 2 people to use a T wrench

Thank you. Car Parts Manual under U20 Head - part #30 (sorry, I should have been clearer) https://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/sports-1965-1970, "pivot bushing". Yes, I don't want to over torque the (27mm head) bolt that threads into the head -- the ball stud bolt threads into this bolt/bushing. When lower locknut (19mm head) is tight, it sits on this bushing's collar. The ball stud (14mm head) then, threads in up-or-down to adjust rocker.
