Hey guys I hope I have this in the right section. I recently picked up a back-up d15z1. I am planning to tear it all the way down and replacing all the seals and gaskets. My question is where is a good spot to find bolt torque specs and I have a 3/8 torque wrench 25-250 ft.lbs will that work for everything or should I get a smaller one also

I'd buy a helms manual. It would be worth the $20 compared the time to find each bolt spec online, plus you'll use it all the time, as long as you own the car. :thumb:

Ok thanks teal. I was thinking about reading up on robster's frankinstien build and doing that. But then again it would probly be biting off to much for my first engine rebuild.

x2 on what teal said, manuals are more then helpfull, i got a haynes one from autozone and it helped alot specially when figuring out where all the trim peices and clips disconnect from, alot of good info definitly worth the investment :thumb:
