1.) Can you use larger thickness lock nuts for the valve adjustment screws? From numerous valve adjustments from awkward positions under the car I noticed that I have started slightly rounding the nuts, especially the one on the #2 exhaust valve. With the engine out I thought it might be a good time to replace them.
2.) From a quote in another thread:
Like I said, the 10mm units have a 14mm hex, thats nothing new.. Always been that way..
Everything on the engine has a torque...
Sorry to bring up such an old thread quote but I never new there was a torque setting for the lock nuts.
Can someone help me with the torque for the lock nuts? I thought it might be listed in the Haynes manual at the beginning of chapter one but I am unable to find it there. What is the torque setting for the lock nuts?
