I'm putting the throttle bodies and blowers back on my 575 SCi's and need the bolt torque spec's. I know the blower to intake manifold is 12 ft lb's. I need the throttle body and mounting plate spec's. Anyone know?
Thanks

This is right out of my 575 merc manual:


Base plate attaching screws: 25 ft/lbs.

Throttle body mounting nuts: 20 ft/lbs.

here you go.....dont know where you got the above numbers but here they are for 575sci

Nice but where are the specs for a tcm800? head torques intake torques girdle torques? thanks

a good guess would be the service manual for that mtr


????????? even if I post them you have to be a paying member to see attachments, and thats not a very nice way to ask for something

I see what your saying....,that 's page 3a-10

Check out page 5a-36, and 5a-37, thats where I
got my #'s

This is not the first time I've seen discrepancies
with Merc manuals

my manuals are are pdf files from merc, a pain too look up that way I belive you thats why I put the page up, I didnt say it to be disrespectful

sorry

No problem Joe

Thanks for pointing that out.

I wonder how many other "misprints" are in this manual ?

its Merc they change daily, all one can do is find the most recent update....

got to luv them....
