AFC Torque Specs

Does anyone have the torque specs for the AFC diaphram cover and the top case half? Just trying to get my ducks in a row before this weekend's project.

Tight is tight, too tight is stripped out. Never torqued one, I always snugged them up and thats it. What ever the torque is, it isn't going to be alot.

Till they stop turning easily

I didn't torque mine down enough the first time and two of them fell out on the road! Be careful though because its aluminum you are turning them into.

Thats funny

I had to use an impact driver to get the flatheads off. I don't think it had been touched since it was new.
