I need the torque spec for the main bearing cap bolts for a 2000 24 valve. They are a 12mm bolt. I had to drop it to sneak the tone ring in there.

It should be a torque + 90*. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

 

for my 04.5 it is 50,80 and then 90 degrees

step 1 44
step 2 88
step 3 129


Ft lbs according to my haynes

 

129 ft lbs is for a 12 valve with 14mm main cap bolts. I have all the 12 valve manuals, 1 says 44, 88, 129, and the other is 44, 66, then 90*.

According to my reference material 95 ft lbs in the recommended torque on a 12mm fastener of that grade.

 

Hmmmm......whay ask then? I printed my specs straight off of the Dealerconnect Website. Maybe it's wrong, but.........

 

03 shows a torque similar to what you stated, but......it's for an '03. Here's the chart.
