    Hi, As the title says I would like to know the correct setting for my torque wrench.
    Haynes seems to say 25 NM (for the 16V KR head - but I think the heads are essentially the same) but perusal on the internet would suggest a lower figure.

    I am a bit uncertain and paranoid as recently I have had to have some helicoils fitted to the Jenvey bodies where the fuel rail is mounted and God knows I was so careful.

    Perhaps 15Nm and some Loktite 243 ?

    Suggestions please.

    Thanks Nick
