Stood in front of the engine, make sure you go through this spiral at every stage.


last time I did mine (couple of weeks ago), did it in that seqence with same method as LLTN says above, then I checked the torque setting. Went round once at 65lb/ft, then 70lb/ft, and finally 75lb/ft. Only one bolt needed more at 70, and they all needed a little bit more at 75.

Wtf is a gibbon anyway? lol

[Lee]

Gibbons are small apes that are grouped in the family Hylobatidae. The family is divided into four genera based on their diploid chromosome number: Hylobates (44), Bunopithecus (38), Nomascus (52), and Symphalangus (50). One unique aspect of gibbon physiology is that the wrist is comprised of a ball and socket joint, allowing for biaxial movement. Such a joint greatly reduces the amount of energy needed in the upper arm and torso, while also reducing stress on the shoulder joint itself.
