LDT-465-1D rod and main torque??

[mastert]

HELP!!

I'm going through the engine and can't find the torque values for the rods and the mains. Anyone out there know how much to torque 'em??

I saw where the heads torque to 157 ft/lbs, but nothing on the other stuff.

Let me check the manuals when I get home tonight. Which engine do you have?

I've been trying to download the TM's, but no luck so far. It'll start the download and after a few minutes it stops and says page not available. Guess I may have to order paper manuals.

Send me your snail mail addy. I have most of the deuce manuals on CD, including the engine overhau for the 465 series.

Mastert, the attached image shows the spec for the 465LDS engine. It may serve as a guide, it's from the TM 9-2815-210-35 (1964) manual.

Sorry, got it turned upside down.

Thanks!!
That's exactly what i needed! I've pulled the engine all the way down and it looks wonderful! Just found a few "little" things like wrong O ring on the oil pressure pipe to the block. It wasn't sealing properly. Couldn't have had proper oil pressure...but run sooo little there was no damage at all. This'll be a great engine when I finish it!
NEW:
Pistons, rings, sleeves
Turbo
Injectors
Fresh valve job
.010 .010 crank with fresh grind
oil pump and drive gears

Are the sleeves hard to change? Are they expensive?

 

[red devils dude]

sleeves are $195 a hole with piston and rings there soso to change but you need
a sleeve puller and slug to fit the sleeves I have a set of sleeve and piston with rings up for sale
PM me if your interested.

Did you get the torque specs? I have TM9-2815-210-34 which covers many models and up to the LDT 465 1C engine and it says to oil the bearings, rod bolt threads and bolt head seating surface with OE/HDO-30. Thghten to an intermediate 66-67 pound-feet and a final touque of 95-100 pound feet. In my poinion this as a must have TM.

Thanks everyone!

On my engine the sleeves pulled out easily by hand. Snug, but not enough to have to make a puller on the lathe...
