Fun With Phasers

[cekim]

Do you know the tq spec for the 5 bolts on the back of the phaser?

I did at some point, but cannot find my notes on that - check with Livernois....

The torque for the bolts is 210 in lbs with blue/medium strength thread locker.

If anybody has any other questions feel free to ask.

Great write-up by the way!

Thanks
Mike

old thread but need to ask something, is a tuned needed after locking up the phasers? i'll do mines in a couple of months, but my dads f150s took a crap and i was thinking about just locking tthem but i dont have a handheld tuner for the truck

I am subscribing to this... wanna show a good friend of mine how these new 3V's VCT works. He was asking me the other day, and I didn't have a solid answer for him.

Good stuff Cekim.

Yes, they are a feedback system - they monitor input angle change vs actual angle and if the tune tries to change their retard/advance and it doesn't happen, it will throw codes and may go into failsafe...

No way it's 210 in-lbs! You'll strip the threads before then. The threads start to yield at about 170. When I put my limiters in, I stopped when they wouldn't take any more torque. My buddy didn't and he ruined one phaser trying to get it to 210.

I was going to put up a "Where the hell is Cekim" post and he appears.

Glad to see you on again, Mike.

BBR instructions say 210 also

 

[one eyed willy]

85 in lbs is what ive been told , I did 89 in lbs on mine.

 

[one eyed willy]

i just did them to 150.......where the hell is 210 in lbs coming from, can beleive this has not been talked about more......

 

[Corpo]

Livernois instructions says 170. Yeah... Did that, stretched a bolt. Almost sheared it off. It's 89. Comp says 89. The grade of bolt yields at 170.
