J.V.,do you have a story to tell with this post? If so,please enlighten us as I agree with ASKAP on this.If it was a first time job with me then I would consult the MM but if it was a job I was familiar with then I probably wouldn't.As for torque figures.....in most cases there is a torque figure quoted in the MM.In reality,it's only certain jobs [critical systems etc] that this is followed by the letter.[rightly or wrongly]
