torque specs

Does anyone know what the torque specs to the harmonic balancer bolt is ?

344 ft lbs for the rb26 i think its the same for other engines too

Good luck finding a torque wrench that goes past 250, lol. That sounds extremely high. Axle nuts are only 140-180lbs and they are much thicker than a crank bolt. I'd say bump it to 180 and you should be fine. Do not use thread locker, put some clean oil on the threads.

I used 3/4 drive with a long torque wrench (5 foot)

rb 20 and rb25 are the same 14.5-15.5 kg-m 104-112ft lbs

Thanks, I'm just scared of breaking the bolt or stripping the thread. It's just when I installed my new water pump Im getting this screeching noise from the water pump belt, I thought maybe the crank shaft wasn't screwed in all the way. I dont know, I guess I'm just going to have to take it to the shop, for something so simple.

Yay I just had to do this and could not find a place with a big enough torque wrench... You could try renting one. I just used a 4 and a half foot breaker bar and gave it all I could. Haven't had a problem but I would recommend making sure your torque is right. You could rent a torque multiplier and then you wouldn't need such a massive wrench but would probably cost the same to rent anyway.

Most likely it's just a loose belt, pretty sure the crank is screwed in all the way

I think its screwed all the way too, I tightened all the belts and I get still steaming sounds from my water pump belt.
If loosened the water pump belt the sound goes away, tighten and it comes back. Any suggestions?

the belt could have a glaze on it or the pulley itself could be glazed, is the belt in good condition or is the ribs all cracked ? . could also try removing the belt and spinning the alternator and water pump to make sure there's no play or noise in the bearings
