Important: Use a reliable torque wrench in order to tighten the parts listed. A reliable torque wrench will ensure proper tightening of the parts without straining or distorting the parts. The following specifications are for clean and lightly-lubricated threads only. Dry or dirty threads produce increased friction. Friction prevents the measurement of tightness.
