Hi all,

Will be installing Poncams soon and was wondering if anyone knows the torque setting for the rocker arm bolts?

Also ive seen on the forums from time to time some stories about how easy the cams are prone to snap if not correctly installed.

I have swapped out a cam on a ford motor but that cam is pretty chunky.How would i lessen the chance of snapping them?

Was just going to place the rocker arm over the cams, slide in all the bolts and work my way from the middle to the ends slowly tightening each one till the correct torque setting was reached.

youll need a very small torque wrench.

download a copy of the service manual. has correct settings and tightening order,

Where do i download it from? Ive been looking for it but i dont want to pay $250 for it.

rb26 cam cap bolt torque is 9 - 11.8 nm so i would think rb25 is something the same. Make sureyou have the cam in the right position before tightening down or have it so all pistons are down off tdc to prevent bending valves. start from the center and work your way out evenly to prevent snapping the cam

Thats the correct torque setting for the rb25 and as stated off tdc helps and start centre out centre left right left right left right and so forth tightning plus tightn even not middle to torque level then the left right etc and good luck
