Mud, seems I remember the torque values on the Big Sucker kit being very light. Not sure about the SE kit. Big Sucker I think was like 5 - 7 ft. lbs.

Thanks Greg. That would be 60-84 in lbs.

I already had the loctite on,
so I took a guess at 60 in lbs.

If anyone has the number from the HD source,
I'd like to get it from you.

Overtorque here definately can damage the gasket.

I can tell you on the Ness BS Mud, and I would imagine it would be the same as the SE plate.

36-60 in lbs. 3-5 ft lbs.

mud -

from kit 29440-99c instructions rev 2006-04-19

breather screws (C) = 120-144 inch lbs
air cleaner studs (6) = 55-60 inch lbs

now in my diagram - the labeling is different, but all of the same parts are shown?

Thanks Keith. Appreciate it.

That sounds like a good range.
I'd say the higher end myownself.

Does the ness kit call out a value
for the air cleaner to the studs??
