Default Re: 351 water pump bolt torque

correct to both of you. Torque is pretty much based on the size and grade of the bolt. The torque reading to bring the fastener to its strongest hold is also influenced by lubrication. It takes less torque (reading on the torque wrench) to bring a clean lubed fastener to full strength than a dry (maybe dirty?) fastener.

This is a great chart.
