Morning all

Just wanted to confirm if standard TVR 5 ltr torque settings are the same as for the 3.9 standard engines.

They obviously have their own conrods and due to the additional compression the heads may have an extra Lb or two

Anyone know the correct settings ?

Many thanks

Andy

70 lb ft is what RPI recommended - but that's for ARP studs - a worthwhile change from bolts if the heads are off anyway.

7.
