Great series bro, I’ve been watching them as they come out. BUT please check again the torque spec for the cam tower bolts, the book you use is incorrect. Other sources only ask for 10-12lbs and even your books appendix at the end has the right spec 😅. I personally broke one of the bolts trying to get to 25lbs
Oh wow, you're totally right. It looks like that book might have a misprint for the torque level of those bolts. Fortunately mine didn't break. I wonder if there is any harm to them being overtightened? I would assume not, especially since the head bolts are doing most of the "heavy lifting" there.
@@zcarguide in my case the bolt broke and I’ve read that we also potentially run the risk of stripping the cylinder head since it’s aluminum. Just wanted to put it out there because many might still look to these videos for some guidance like I have 😅 I appreciate them! 🤘🏼
@@bisniskidcali9998 I'm sorry to hear that. What did you do to fix it? Hopefully it broke off at a point where it was easy to just turn it out. This is what I like about RUclips -- the comments can always correct me and make the material more helpful. Did you to use a high quality lubricant on the threads? That would be the only difference that might have caused your bolt to fail and allow mine to get to 25 lbs-ft. Jason gave me the stuff in the green and yellow tube you see at around 2:15 and it absolutely changes how easily a bolt moves in a threaded hole to get a more true torque rating.
Hi Nathan. I’m sorry I didn’t get to this right away. I have seen a lot of people use a Super Damper product. It doesn’t seem like there are a ton of options. Can you rebuild your original?

Hi, please advise if there is a harmonic balancer for these L series motors.
Any help will be appreciated
