Timing adjustable top sprocket... cap head torque

[TVR Beaver]

Having just spent the best part of 3 hours finding true TDC and setting my timing, I think on average it's set to 111.25 (885 Cam) but thats averaging on a lobe that reads the same for about 5 deg...

anyway, it's a TVR Power adjustable thingy... does anyone know the torque I should tightern the 4 cap heads down to?..

Cheers

Don't know the torque settings but make sure you use a good thread lock as the previous griff I had (previous to me getting it) the bolts came loose and destroyed the engine.

They were quite tight.. may be 25 NM?.... and came off with a crack.. so guess thread locks been used.. that said, once moveing they un-screwed easy.. so may be not??...

Trying to think back when i did mine John, It would be a guess, but i had 25nm in my head as you say. I certainly did not lock tight them and there was nothing in the fitting instructions to suggest doing this.

Thanks Ian

these were not glued as looking at the thread they are clean... just don't want to strip the thing as I'm good at that
