can someone help out on putting my heads on my 5.3 im going to temp to put them on...is the ft lbs 22 and 90*s...can someone help and explan it a little better for me...

 

I could barely understand what you typed but I will try to answer your question..With most TTY (Torque to yeild) bolts you are going to torque then to a set in/lb or ft/lb and then turn them a set degree..so 90* would be a quarter turn more and 360* would be a full turn more...got it?

 

...no...90 is a quarter turn since a full circle is 360 degrees...

torque them down with a torque wrench to 22ft lbs, then get a sharpie and draw a straight horizontal line on the bolt head to keep a reference from where you started.

 

There are 360 degrees in a circle, 90 is a complete right angle. Basically you are tightening them to 22 ft/lbs to tighten the fastener without stretching it. The 90 degrees is a form of measurement to stretch the fastener as it is more accurate than torque. Torque can vary between lubricants, and is not as accurate. You can get a piece of cardboard, and place a hole in it for the end of the extension to go through near the head of the rachet or whatever you are using to tighten it. Draw a straight line from the hole outward away from the hole. Draw another line at your desired degrees in a clockwise rotation from the initial line. After you have achieved all of your 22 ft/lbs, place the socket and extension through the hole in the cardboard and onto the fastener. Line it up with your first line, and secure the cardboard. Now turn it to the next line that is your desired degrees.

 

Beat me to it Atomic.

 

Exactly……….as in from the above example, 25 degrees is not 25 percent or ¼ turn.

 

LOL I just woke up...I work with degrees and angles ALL day at work (hypot, 3-4-5) with bending metal and fabricating..after I typed I went on a walk with my Dogs and thought about it and forgot...WOW

Fixed above...

-And white out works good too, with marking the bolt and head
