270 LBF on the pulley bolt !!!

[TVR Beaver]

How much!.... all the play, bending and slack in the system won't let you get this in the 1/4 turn you have available to load it up etc.... Think we managed just short of 200 so I'm sure that will do.... How on earth you'd get to 270 goodness knows??......

anyway. it's back in and a huge thanks to Chris 52 who helped me yesterday mm by mm








Mind you... not that we'll be going anywhere soon there is a reported 25' drift in Denholme!!.... got to say I passed some getting to work today that must have been 15' deep

Good work! How did you hold the crank locked while you torqued up, and what was the engine out for?

[TVR Beaver]

Basicaly put it in gear with the brakes on.... Engine out to replace the pistons after a slight chatter on over-run.. but also internaly ballanced, cross bolted etc etc,...

must say at 200 LBF it felt like we wern't going the drive system any faviours but that said how many LBF does the engine produce...

Just to correct you John we got 200nm but was supposed to be 270nm the correct pound-foot was 200 but we only managed 150 (200nm)

Just done mine this weekend to 270nm. In gear, someone standing on the brakes and it tightened up fine. Took some effort though.

All looking very nice John.

[TVR Beaver]

Yes.. your right.. iw was 270 Nm and we got 200 Nm... why on earth does it have to be that tight?... its not like its a wheel bearing or anything?? where is it going?...

Thanks Ian... you must have useda long bit of tube.. i didn't like to think of the bearings, lay shafts etc in the gear box... I'm sure it will do

[shoggyraminator]

For peace of mind you might want to recheck it after a couple of K miles to make sure it's not working loose as this would not be a pretty sight.

[TVR Beaver]

I'm assuming it has to be tight for the damper in the pulley... it's its 'loose' it won't transfer all the frequancy's etc... it coming loose would be a disaster.. but coming off even more so
