I just googled torque values there are lot of charts on line you need to watch unit as some are in in /lbs some in foot lbs and some in newton/meters]]>https://www.soliforum.com/user/6775/2018-04-29T12:29:28Zhttps://www.soliforum.com/post/143766/#p143766<![CDATA[Re: what is the torque value for MK8 Nozzle]]>I have about 30 years as a machinist but do not have equipment any more and gave my handbooks to someone starting out. I have snapped a couple of nozzles and had to use an easyout. So I thaught I would see if I guessed wright on the torque.
Thanks Again

I learned the hard way it was easier to cut the threads before drilling . If i drilled first the tread ripped off in the die .
Just do not use my older brothers method . Turn it down until it breaks then back of a 1/4 turn. He was actualy quite a mechanic 20 years on motorcycles then packaging machines for 20 plus years.

If I use a torque wrench how many inch pounds should I use. The block is aluminum. I am guessing 42 inch pounds does that sound about wright.
