Searching this answer has produced a few threads, but no clear answer...
Is there a proper torque value for the installation of interference-fit studs on the engine? An IO-320, if it makes a difference, and I'm changing out the intake studs on the sump to longer ones for the AFP fuel servo. I know that the correct end needs to be threaded in, and that the fit is tight. I found the minimum driving torque (15 in/lb) in the Lycoming SSP-1776, but no note for the final torque value or range.
Am I just to use the standard torque listed in the Lycoming pub for same-size bolts? The AFP service manual calls out the use of high-temp loctite, but no torque value as far as I've found.
Thanks...
