What Size Taps And Dies Needed For A Rebuild?
#13
30lb-ft is absolute max I would recommend.
Going tighter does cause headaches - you should try it.
The engine is so tight tolerance, that cranking it over by hand is a brutal affair - don't overtighten!
Ho-man told us about the time he tried 35 lb-ft, and you could not spin it by hand.
I tried this once, and he was right!

That's interesting that you would say that. It did feel sorta hard to crank by hand when I got done. But the rotor housings are 79.960mm in all the right places (not crushed), so they're already kinda small ('74-'75, so maybe the machining wasn't 100% dead-on back then).
I did notice that the bolts felt like they stopped turning around 30. I backed off on some to try again. Should I back off to around 25-26?

I usually shoot for 30 max - you should be fine.
About the only thing that'll get messed is the stat-o-seals under the tension bolts.
The inner water jacket seals should be fine - they are elastic and brand new right (rebuild?), so they should expand when you relieved the pressure and reseat.

i dont like beam torque wrenches, i've found them it be inaccurate almost by +- 5lbs. Use a clicker.
I always chase all the threads in EVERY motor i work on, its cleans the holes and banzai is right, a piece of crud in a blind hole will give you a bad torque reading.
