1933 Super 8 Stainless steel acorn head nuts

Posted by Super8 On 2021/8/23 11:42:04

Hello,

I am installing stainless steel acorn head nuts on my super 8 engine. I believe that for standard steel the torque spec is 65 lbs/ft but I imagine that stainless steel having a higher tensile strength the torque spec should be adjusted down to achieve the same clamping force.

Can anyone tell me the spec for the stainless variety?

Many thanks for your input
