Little confused on Torque values
Name: 382077_10152258015480128_2016637912_n.jpg Views: 43 Size: 54.8 KB




So is it an initial torque of 289 foot pounds, with a final torque of 361 foot pounds?
I don’t get the torque values they are giving me, everything so far has two numbers with a big gap between the two numbers, the only thing I can think of is an initial torque to seat the part, then a final correct torque... Thanks in advance Mazda brothers

That is the torque range. Shoot for nominal torque of 325 ft lbs. As long as your torque wrench is good for +/- 10%, you will be within spec.
