FE Technical Forum / Re: Cam end play setup advice
« on: June 16, 2022, 10:12:42 AM »I hate those Phillips bolts. Almost impossible for me to get the torque spec on them that I feel is appropriate with a roller cam setup. I torque those 7/16-14 thrust plate bolts at 55 lb-ft. Hard to do that with a big fat Phillips bit.
A lot of this FE stuff is left over from 1958 ways of thinking.
Not at all difficult to torque. I pull the adapter and I think its #2 bit out of my impact screwdriver set, pop it on the torque wrench and done. Bit fits perfect and the feel is the same as a regular bolt when torquing. Figured this one out few weeks ago set wrench for 50ft-lb. Honestly after doing it I decided that's how I would it here on out, it worked that well.
This is the set I keep around for stubborn screws/bolts but first time I ever used that honking Phillips bit. Really fit perfect.
