>make sure to torque-to-specno fuck off.
Based blown gasket chad
>try to google a torque spec>ai gives one answer>first result is a completely different number>second result is yet another different numberfuck me do I really have to shell out for a book?
>>29103473just tighten until it feels “solid”
>>29103451Nah, torque specs are important.It's super easy and fast to use a torque wrench
>>29103473>fuck me do I really have to shell out for a book?That or actually read some forum posts instead of making AI spoonfeed you
i like bringing my ai generated car to the ai generated mechanic because he uses ai generated torque specs
>>29103451AI is truly dumber than people think, those pens are mutated as fuck.

>>29103473>do I really have to shell out for a book?You 100% should.They're like $25 or free. I have 2 different physical service manuals for my car. I cross-reference and if there's a difference between manuals I triple-reference with youtube / forums.My car is the only car I work on, if $30 means saving a shit ton of money and will make my car live longer I'll do that.You can also do fat lines off of them.
>>29103451Spec is "two ugga-duggas"
>>29103473Get a library card nigga
>>29103451>differential bearings seize up>valve cover splits open>head lifters disintegrate>brake rotors warp>oil filter tears apart trying to remove>spark plug threads in the block strip out>oil starts leaking everywhere>wheel bearings seized upyeah how's that working out for you, bozo.
>>29103473>Retards gambling thousands of dollars and dozens of man hours to save $50 on an online manual that you can just pirate anywaysKek
>>29103473You own a car and didn't get the fuckin Haynes manual?
>>29104641Not that anon, but they don't make a haynes for my car
>>29103451Let's see you wing it with your spark plugs.
>>29104478>>29104669i usually torque to spec but if you're too retarded to torque spark plugs by feel you shouldn't be working on cars
>>29103451>waaaah I'm too lazy to do something the right way when it takes a negligible amount of extra time to do so
>>29104481>Just steal it You got a repository for tech manuals or Haynes manuals? I can't imagine there's a huge demand for book torrents since direct download would be more likely?
>>29103452Fpbp
>>29103477Hey boss, whats the torque spec on these carbon fiber valve covers? >when you hear it crack, stopThats OC btw....
>>29103451Kinda funny torque requirement.I used to work on DC-3s/ C-47s. The propeller hub nut (the single nut that holds the entire prop assy onto the engine) is torqued to something like 1000 ft lbs. You need a massive special socket, torque multiplier for you to put the torque wrench into, and a adapter to hold it all together.But the maintenance manual provided instructions on how to torque the nut without a torque wrench.The manual basically just told you to have a technician suspend himself on a bar and bounce a few times. It specified how heavy the technician needed to be, and how long the bar needed to be. Another weird torque procedure was for the wing. The DC-3 uses these L-shaped extrusions on the outside of the wing to hold the wing on. If you look at the wing, just outboard of the engine, you'll see a row of bolts. There's almost 330 bolts, and they all need to be torqued. But the funny thing is that the manual tells you to torque all the bolts, go fly the plane, then retorque all the bolts again.
>>29103473Factory service manual if you can find one. They sometimes cost not much more than a haynes or chiltons if you have an old shitbox.
>>29104481I hate using manuals off the computer. Phusical copies are just so much easier to work with. Yes I don't have 'Ctrl+F' to help, but I hate having to degrease my computer even more.
>>29106677Buffalo Airways mechanic?
>>29106970No, 10 years with non-profit organizations (not CAF).
>>29107006Right on. Thanks for being a part to keep those old birds flying.
Cant get physical copies of the service manual for my car. Too much of a pain in the ass
>>29106968Print it? Then if you want you only need to print the relevant pages.
