What is the correct torque for the generator stand studs?

Joe Bence Thu Aug 07, 2014 7:11 pm

Not much , I have never used a torque wrench there, just snugged them down with a wrench.

They're M8 studs and the standard torque is 14ft-lbs.

Those M8 case nuts typically tighten to 14 ft/lbs you can use VW curved spring Washers or flat washers and new self locking nuts. A thin film of case sealer on every side of the gaskets and the splash blocker to the stand will avoid any oil leak.

Is there a gasket that goes on both sides of the baffle plate?

Yes, there's paper gaskets that goes on both sides.

Some baffle plates comes with a gasket allready in place. So it depends on how yours looks. If it's pure alloy, use a paper gasket on both sides. If there's already a paper gasket bonded to it, you're good to go. :)
