tightening torques

anybody know the torque setings for the cam bearing caps for a 1980 308gtsi or the rest of motor

 

Cam caps - 78 in. lbs.

 

is there a thread on all the tightening torques in foot or inch pounds from valve covers to bearing caps to cover the complit motor i look in research did NOT fine anything.

 

i am puling the cams of to do all the cam seals and belts for MY FRIST TIME on the cam cap bearings do i put new nuts back on or not or use the same ones!!!!! any info on this. thanks.

 

There's probably not really a perfect 100% accurate/complete table of tightening torques in existance for any F model , but I believe each/most F WSMs have a "Tightening Torques" Section -- are you trying this sans 308GT4 WSM?
One thing to mind is that the cam cap numbering not only indicates position but also orientation -- put the matching stamped numbers on the same side (almost unfortunately, they are made well enough to put on backwards, but might not form a proper round bore).

 

You'll find a complete set of metric & english torque specs in:

http://ferrari.jenkins.org/books/328_tech.pdf

While it's a 328 book, the torques apply to all of the 3x8 series.
Another good resource are the mondial & gt4 FSMs in the same location.

IMHO there's no need to replace the cam cap nuts as the torque on them is pretty light(6.5 ft-lbs).

A torque tip: Ferrari is very consistent in using the same torque for a particular size& pitch fastener. If you can't find a spec for something, lookup a similar fastener & use that torque.

thanks to all of you for the info.

 

Absolutely. It's the only way I can get to Havana.

 

Okay, excuse me while I have another drink .
