haynes lists most everything.

Because it's a non-specific 8mm bolt. Most 8mm bolts with hex heads go to 14-18 ft/lbs, and inhex (allen) and triple square go to 31. 7mm (and the 8mm sump nut) go to 11, 6mm about the same, 10mm usually go to 35, and 12mm generally go to 56. The book is a guide, not a step by step procedureal document. Having used various manuals over the last 40 years, I find Haynes to be of only minor use, but it's better than Chilton or Clymer. Too bad Bentley Publishers doesn't have one for our cars.
The Cap'n

so 6mm's go to 11 or so?

It is the Haynes way. Don't ask why, it just is. They never say anything twice, you need to read it cover to cover to find what you need.

Also, never forget: "based on a complete teardown and rebuild". Which means if you need to do something shown in step 15, you may not NEED to do steps 1-14. I helped my bro change the heater core in his truck once.. haynes told us to remove half the dash, the whole AC/heater box, then remove the heater core. Halfway through that we found the removable door on the bottom of the heater box that's accessible with everything else in place. Many many hours of extra work, all because of "based on a complete teardown and rebuild". We burned the haynes manual after that. (I'm not kidding, and it felt good)

hahahahahahahaha!

ill remember that
thanks

Hey, don't get upset......try to find "How to mark a new impeller" and then find the photo that goes with it

It's been my experience that most manuals list the torque settings in the specifications part of a chapter with no further reference in the procedure text.

This is correct. Haynes lists all torque settings in the first few pages of a chapter. You have to look to find what you need, but it is there.
