I'm having to replace the leaking water pump on my Jinma 284 with Y385T engine. When I ordered the parts from Harold at Affordable, he did not have any torque info and simply said to make them 'snug'. I am not sure what that means. I have a torque chart that gives settings based on the type of bolt. However, those chart settings seem like they are low for the task that the bolts perform. I don't want to put this thing back together only to take it apart again.
See attached picture-
A is the box that encloses the thermostat. The bolts (a) are Class 8.8 M6x1.0. The chart recommended torque for that type of bolt is 8ftlbs.
B is the water pump. The bolts (b) are Class 8.8 M8x1.25. The chart recommended torque for that type is 19ftlbs.
Does anyone out there have better torque information?
