Hey all,

I want to put in a fitting in my bosch ( inlet port ) that has a barbed end on it. Anyone know the size and or a heads up where I culd find such a fitting

Thanks

Van

 

it is 12mmx1.5mm thread if you're talking about the VE pump fuel inlet thread size.

 

yes I am.. Thanks.. -Van

 

Does anyone know what the clearance between the RPM sensor and the dampener is supposed to be??

also, how do you measure the torque on a fitting/nut that a socket can't fit on?? Is there a special kind of torque wrench for that?

Thanks

Van

 

It's called the CPS (Crankshaft Position Sensor) Here's the adjustment in a sticky about electrical problems.

Torque is a multiplier of pressure and radius on the wrench. If you pull on an 12" long end wrench with 100 lbs of force (use your fish scale) it's 100 ft. lbs. of torque. an 8" long wrench would yield 67 ft. lbs.

hope it helps

 

Or try a crows foot, depends what it is your trying to torque.

Crows foot should be used 90 degrees to the wrench handle though, if inline with handle the torque is incorrect as the lever is lengthened by the crows foot.

Or use this:

M1 = M2 x L1 / L2

M1 is the torque setting of the wrench.

M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut

L1 is the normal length of the wrench

L2 is the extended length of the wrench (Length of wrench + length of adapter)

Attaching the crowsfoot at 90 degrees on the torque wrench will not change the torque value enough to matter.

Using a "solid" extension will not change the torque value enough to matter. (Torque is still being applied in the same axial plane.)
