Water outlet bolt torque

[WCH]

Hey guys,

First post here.

Can someone please tell me the torque values for the Water Outlet Pipe on a 3.6 VZ? Im guessing 10-15NM. Just concerned it may not be enough to seal properly but also dont want to strip the thread.

Thanks
Rory

Yep, manual says 10Nm.

Still on torque settings, I am gonna do my spark plugs without a torque wrench. The spec is 16 -21 nm I believe. any tips on finger tightness plus rotation?

Spec is 20Nm. If you don't have a torque wrench, the rotation is 1/16 turn, as explained here:

Also confirmed here ( Tapered seat type For (spark plugs without gaskets)):

cheers. I might just hire a torque wrench from Coats Hire if they don't charge 1/2 the price of a new one that is

You should invest in a good versatile one like the Warren and Brown 322500, it does between 10 and 180Nm, which is far for enough for general applications.

Get a second hand one for cheap, for example this one:
Warren AND Brown Torque Rench in VIC | eBay

Definitely worth the investment as this is almost indestructible.
