Esslinger adjustable cam gear bolt torque.

[dew34]

I have turned the internet up side down and inside out looking for the torque on the 12 point bolts on the Esslinger cam gear.
The instructions on the Esslinger site said tighten them evenly and tight and thats it. I don't feel comfortable with tight .
I would much rather have a number I would really hate to pull the threads out of the aluminum. I sent Cary at Esslinger a email asking about the torque some times it takes them a while to respond. Any one have any idea ? I have standard torque values for cast iron/steel but nothing for aluminum .

Identify the size and thread of the screw that you need to tighten.

Go to www.svocop.com (http://www.svocop.com) and click on the Torque Specs selection under "useful links".

Find your thread size and torque spec based on a similar sized screw.

Thank you for the help guys.Esslinger replied with 10 ft lbs which i felt was too high.I removed the bolts only to notice a ARP stamp on the head so i torqued it as suggested at 10 ftlbs when i torqued it felt nice and crisp not soft like threads were pulling.
