Title: Torque question Post by: BikerGran on March 29, 2015, 02:09:23 PM On behalf of a friend who posted...
Quote Question for any spannering wizards. Any idea of the torque setting for a 20 mm x 1.5 thread, brass going into aluminium, please? Cali sump drain plug. Guzzi workshop manual's as much use as the Karma Sutra is to a eunuch.

Title: Re: Torque question Post by: Olds on March 29, 2015, 07:31:52 PM Depends on how thick the aluminium is etc. For something like a sump plug I'd do finger tight + quarter turn and always fit a new crush washer.

I oughtn't to be surprised tho, bloke who taught me a lot about spannering had been building bikes all his life and had never owned a torque wrench - "Finger tight, quarter turn, and just nip it up" was his mantra.
