This appendix Iists standard torque values, as shown in Table H-1, and provides general information for
applying torque. Special torque values and tightening sequences are indicated in the maintenance procedures for
applicable components.
H - 2 . G E N E R A L .
a. Always use the torque values listed in Table H-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specific
torque value.
b. Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be + 10%.
c. Torque values listed are based on clean, dry threads. Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a
lubricant. Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used.
d. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5
capscrews torque and must attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.
