i recently had an engine apart and since i dont have a tq wrench i just put the nut back the way i found it, the hex pattern was on the flywheel and i just mached it back up. is this good? bad?

hmmmm.. You seem buff enough to put it back on snug.. but the mark can be misleading.. maybe under torque it may have taken a coule more turns.. but you should be okay.. till the flywheel shoots out of the tranny and cuts off your legs..
|
ive never had one of those nuts fall off on me (knocks on wood)
|
how much do u weight? take a 2 foot bat nad hang on it at 90 degre angle that will bring it to 360 ft lbs https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

360 ft lb is what you need. But my suggestion is to buy a torque wrench. You without legs is not a lovely sight https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png . Imagine having to drive your RX7 with hand controls https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif . That should be enough to convince you that you should buy a torque wrench.

Simple physics, Torque = forceXdistance
how much you weigh times how long the bar is. adjust the length of the bar till you hit 360ft/lbs and bingo. |
We used to do this with the Ford rear ends, they said when re-installing the same ring and pinion (say just doing bearings) to mark the nut, then turn about 1/8 inch past the mark and back it off to the mark. I dunno wtf that did, but that is the way we always did it LOL

You *really* want to be sure its torqued down. Bad things can happen when it isnt. Just trust me on this one...
|
did anyone else see that flywheel just roll by?
|
360ft/lb- pah!
I take the scientific approach and do them up FT. That's F@%king Tight if you hadn't realised..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Imagine a 210lb fat b@stard jumping up and down on a metre long spanner, and you've just pictured me in my workshop! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif |
