I’m working as an ME in for a major Fortune 500 corporation and seldom look forward to going to work. I’m very valuable to management and they would prefer I take on more management responsibility and I really want no part of it, but soon have to make a decision.
I always enjoyed working on...
The cam bolt in GM 6.5 Turbo Diesel engines is an M12x1.75 grade 10.9. GM changed the torque spec from 65 Lbf-ft to 125 lbf-ft without changing the bolt.
All torque charts I read show approximately 73 Lbf-ft as being the maximum torque for this bolt. I simply can't find justification anywhere...
