Could someone please confirm that the inlet manifold bolts need to be torqued down to 20-22 NM, this is the equivalent of 150 Ft Lbs of torque and seems very high to me, going into Aluminium!!!!


I am in the process of torqueing down the bolts and quite honestly 10NM seems high, I am concerned about over tightening.


Could you please confirm 20-22 NM is correct and also the same for the Throttle body.


many thanks

 

That is what I have written down at home that came out of a PDF of the repair manual for my 03. I plan to double check though.

 

See last post here... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...-03-xk-128695/

 

whoa, 20-22 nm = 15 Ft lbs NOT 150 Ft lbs
I suggest downloading the JTIS, it has a search feature for torque settings.

 

look here http://www.jagrepair.com/images/Auto..._2007_2004.pdf

 

page 127 shows 21nm for the intake, v8 gas motors for 2003, I would assume this ganna be the same for 97-2006???

 

that link, info published 7/2004.

 

Can anyone confirm from the JTIS????????????? I have looked at 3 sources, all are 20-22 NM.

 

Yes JTIS has 21-22 I looked at 2 diff years one was 21 (01 4.0L) and 03 4.2L was 22

 

well I have driven my 03 good part of this afternoon, stopping for it to cool some and back in it. It is running well, no issues.

 

Finally have the Jag together, new coolant, running well with no leaks or error messages!!
Many thanks to this forum for all your help

 

excellent!
