This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table G-1, and provides general Information for
applying torque. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in the maintenance procedures for
applicable components.
G - 2 . G E N E R A L.
a. Always use the torque values listed In Table G-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specific
torque value.
b. Unless otherwise specified, standard torque tolerance shall be ± 10%.
c. Torque values are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil Is used as a
lubricant. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.
d. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5 capscrew
torque. Capscrew threaded into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.
