injector pump torque
« on: October 19, 2010, 01:17:38 am »
does anybody have the torque specs for the 6 torx bolts on the back of the injector pump, and the 4 bolts for the aneroid top on a 1.6 TD injector pump?
1990 VW jetta 1.6 td, 2.5" exhaust, no muffler, governor mod 2010 edition, K&N filter. and now 66 hp and 136 ftlbs.
project 1.6 liter in the works  :)

I dunno about the torx, but the Spaceship one's just do up with a screwdriver
