Anyone know the torque specs for the large bolts that hold the series bellhousing to the tranny? Had to swap out the 6cyl bellhousing for a 4cyl one and need to re assemble everything.

Tight.
Land Rover didn't provide torque specs for them.
I'd measure them and torque accordingly.

Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck
in places even more inaccessible.

Thanks. I won't waste any more time looking. Good and tight will do.

Just use the standard torque specified for that size/thread pitch bolt:

EDIT: Sorry it's probably Whitworth if it's on the transmission, right? Here's that chart:

Never even though about that. Good idea! Thanks.

Mark,
Yeah, that's what I meant by "torque appropriately."

That's what I figured, but I don't think it caught on with everyone...Originally Posted by antichrist

Those torque numbers are for the bolts. If the bolts are going into aluminum alloy castings, then the castings strip before the bolts do. Just go with goodandtight.

That's a good point....

I'm a bit slow until hit between the eyes with a 2x4.That's what I figured, but I don't think it caught on with everyone...
Good reminder about the steel bolts vs aluminium transmission case. 3 are bolts and nuts, the 4th is threaded into the aluminium case.
