could someone please give me the torque setting of 1. the craddle which holds the crank in, i did mine at 40 lb/in is this ok

2. the head, i read some where around 100 lb/in

3. the bolts which hold the con rods to the crank, i read in the 26 workshop manual 14 lb/in and then 60 to 65 degrees with an angle wrench, and i dont have an angle wrench.

4. and anything else that is important

thank you.

i wouldnt be using rb26 torque settings on rb30 bolts, they are different sizes from memory. I have a vl commodore workshop manual in the shed ill grab it tommorow and post the specs up for the rb30 specific stuff unless someone else beats me to it.

If your using rb26 headbolts then use the 26 torque specs for them, but main bolts and rod bolts i would definately use the rb30 specs.

who is the cock sucker who edits the posts on this thread? i looked up on monday and there was about 5 replies, now there is only 2, some guy had written up a massive informative post which is now not there, what the fu*k is going on? for the people whos posts that have not been deleted, i thank you for your input. i would like to know the torque settings of the conrod bolts by the weekend if anyone has them, cheers

Dumb shit, the forum went down a few days ago. There have been posts about it.

TORQUE SETTINGS - for factory bolts, nuts, studs ect. Other manufactures such as ARP have their own torque settings that are listed on the box.

Cylinder head bolts - 10mm 'allen key' type bolt

1st stage - 29nm

2nd stage - 78 nm

3rd stage - loosen completely

4th stage - 29 nm

5th stage - 88 nm

Corner cylinder head bolts - 10mm hex nut

8 nm

Main bearing cradle bolts - 16mm IIRC

54 nm

Connecting rod bearing cap nut - 10mm iirc

1st stage - 16 nm

2nd stage - 44 nm

thank you mr 200 for the torque settings of the rb30 bottom end, you are a champion. i am not a dumb shit though, i dont spend alot of time on sa and didnt realise it had crashed. it is an excellent site for getting information. thank you thank you yes sir, thank you.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
