Hi all,
Does anyone have handy the torque settings for the cylinder head nuts on a 1972 2.4TE?

Many Thanks!!

Hi Andrew . . . and welcome to the forum.

What a good first post . . . one that I can't immediately answer . . . can I suggest you call Russell Lewis of RSR enginerring (911 PCGB Tech advice - on 01428 602 911) . . . unless someone can chip in.

Any photo's/details about the car?

Cheers

Cheers Andy,

Probably a stupid question, but am I right in thinking that these shouldn't be 'lubed'?

Thanks Phil and Andy for the quick response, it's greatly appreciated!!. My car is ready for it's valve clearance and cylinder head re-torque after having done 500 miles after an engine rebuild, which I'm planning to do this easter weekend. I foolishly managed to leave all of my Porsche literature several hundred miles away from where my car is kept, hence the need for the torque settings.

Information about the car: I bought the 911, a 1970 model Targa T, Californian import built in November 1969 around 6 years ago as a rolling chassis with everything else in boxes. It's taken me the last 5 years of blood, sweat and much swearing (after find lots of parts missing from the said boxes) to get her back on the road.

Along the way I managed to pickup a complete, but extremely holey German import 1972 911 Targa S with matching numbers as a parts car for a small sum which helped immensely in working out how things go back together. I'll be looking to rebuild the 2.4S engine and fit it to the T in the near future.

Thanks again,
Andy.
