I have two questions I'm hoping you can help me with.
Question 1:
Do I need to use thread lock on any of the fasteners when reassembling the parts following replacement of the timing belt?
Question 2:
Can anyone tell me what the torque specification is for the intake manifold collector mounting bolts (hex head) on a '93 Pathfinder - VG30E engine?
The Chilton manual I have only lists the torque for the intake manifold bolts,
which is a different fastener.
I know when I removed them they were on quite tight which means one or
more of the following:
A). They have a higher torque rate than the intake manifold bolts (12-14
Foot/Pounds - relatively low torque).
B). Thread lock was used.
C). The last person to tighten the bolts applied too much torque.
Thanks as always for your help.
