Fellow "Santa's",
Has anyone compiled a list of torque values that would come in handy when, for example, doing a condition inspection? Or at times when you've removed something and just want to put it back in with the correct torque without having to dig thru the KAI (wherever THAT is)?
I've had good intentions of compiling such a list/table but...(insert favorite excuse here, I'm blaming it on the grandkids ...at this point I just need to know what the torque is for the Engine to Mount bolts for Rotax 912ULS before I start reinstalling carbs and 5-year cooling hoses.
If anyone has started such a list, please share. I'll add to it and repost with name/date included for some modicum of configuration control. I'll also add a "change log" so future users have an idea what Drawing Revisions and SB's have been included.
I know KAI Section 5 has a list of "standard" torque values. Still, there are many instances in the KAI where specific values were called for during assembly.
Maybe someone has addressed this already. If so, I couldn't find it using "search".
Here's a beginning of the list I have in mind. I would add columns for MM/Rotax Reference and KAI Reference with Revision Date.
What do folks think about using a .xlsx or another common format? MS Word Table?
Torque Values:
Prop hub: 220-240 in-lb use crisscross pattern
Oil Tank Drain Plug: 19 Ft-lb
Magnetic Plug: 18.5 ft-lb dry
Spark Plugs: 180 in-lb GAP=??
Valve Covers 90 in-lb
Landing Gear ??
Engine Mounts to motor??
All the best for the Holidays!!
2cents,
Dave
