torquing connecting rod bolts

rockfordpi · 01-02-2019, 08:43 AM

Rebuilding FE290. What size torque wrench do I need to torque the connecting rod bolts?

I have a 3/8" drive but, unless I am missing something, there is not enough room to get it in there? I will buy a 1/4" drive if needed and it will fit.

It's tricky but a 3/8 should fit. Turn the crank and maybe try using a deep well socket and you should be able to get them both.

3/8 torque wrench works fine. Just rotate the crank to get to the bolts.
