Isn't it supposed to be deeper than it is? Can't really go too deep.

Never pulled the timing cover on an NOS 12v, don't rightly know.

The couple Ive seen on low mileage engines were both 3/16" or so recessed.

 

I guess you don't want to go with a torque multiplier....


So,

This is the one I bought.
It's NLA from Amazon, as I bought mine 9 years ago.

They do have one that is a more than half the cost I spend on mine, but it's from some manufacturer I'm not familiar with. Lots of good reviews on it though


BTW, if you do an amazon search for 3/4 " Torque wrench, lots of them come up.


BTW, the reason I have mine is because my Fuso requires a torque wrench that's over 390 ft lbs to torque the lug nuts. I believe I'm the only fool on the planet that torques his Medium Duty truck wheels to spec.

 

Explain about torque multiplier... How does it work, and what does it look like

 

Think of it as a low range for your socket wrench.

 

Started sound proofing the cab today. Like most of us i drive my truck almost daily so keep that in mind before anyone gives me a hard time about only doing half lol. I will get the rest buttoned up in the next few days. I'm going to put a rubber style mat in instead of carpet, yall think that will be enough or should i put some carpet padding in as well. The quieter the better.



Pulling seat, center console and carpet.





All clean and wiped down with some industrial non residue glass cleaner





I used Fat Matt XXXtreme rattle trap. Thicker than Dynomat and went on very well. 1st time doing this so it was a learning experience





I think it's turning out well

 

Couldn't hurt to toss a bit of underlay over top...would give the rubber mat a little more cushion....

 

You think the stuff from LMC or like what Mr. Lane used in operation silence

 

Made a KDP tab out of some thin scrap.

The KDP bolt and the bolt below and to the left were both sorta tight. Maybe 5 ft/lbs and the two bolts behind the cam gear were actually loose. Not out but just finger tight.
The two bolts at the lower corners outside of the cover were tight.

It's amazing how outta sight outta mind things can be. I'm glad I didn't wait one more second to do this!

 

It looks good! Will be doing same in the not too distant future.
I had a 86 CUCV straight off a auction lot. It came stock with NO sound proofing at all, no carpet, ect. I used similar type of sound mat and regular jcwhitney carpet and easily cut the noise by 80%.

I'll probably end up using a rubber mat as well being in construction. I don't feel like vacuuming carpet weekly. Any extra insulation on top of the XXX will only help. If your after much improvement as possible you gotta do it

 

It's funny how the KDP gets more ink on the forums then the case bolts do...and it's almost always the case bolts that are sitting at a potentially disastrous state.

Glad you got them all sorted out!

 

Usually of a planetary design works on a known ratio between the drive and the driven, where 10 turns to the drive turns the driven output 1 turn, 10 to 1, stacked, a 3/8" ratchet can torque 1000 pounds of torque easly.

I used these a lot on heavy equipment and diesel engines where headbolts torque to 1000 lbs.

Also you need to keep a check on your torque wrench to make sure it is accurate, you used to be able to check them on a device inside the Snap On van for free, need to ask them now though.

There are several well stocked rental yards here that rent big torque wrenches.

Looks great. some day I will get to mine. with a wife that spills stuff(usually sticky) and two dogs I will probably go with a rubber floor mat in lieu of carpet.

 

And I thought I was the only one on the rubber mat train.
