Injector holddown torque

[6speedsd]

Ok, so I've heard so many different torque specs that I'm confused. I've heard 9ftlb, I've seen 26lbs quoted in several places. Recently read Swamps injector install instructions, and they say just crank it down until its tight and won't turn anymore. So, which is it? I'm going with 155's here before long and want to have my facts straight before I start.

9 is WAY WAY too low. 24 is Ford specs, most go a little higher though.. between 26-30 ft/lb

I did mine 28.

28 ft/lbs FTW

Thanks guys. I can't remember where I read 9lbs, but it did seem low to me.

Swamps was mentioning how you weren't threading that bolt into aluminum so you didn't have to worry about stripping it out. I want to say it even said "you can't crank it too tight". Umm, yea you can, and you'll know it when that bolt snaps off on you.

I installed warrens in a customers truck and his call for 31ft lbs so I have just been doin all of my injectors at that spec with no problem.

His 155's are the ones I'm getting.

Great injector choice and I'd definitley do 31 ft lbs lol

I do 31 as well with my warrens. Also all the torque specs can be found in the 6.0 bible.

28 with stock coppers, 31 with any aftermarket copper thats thicker, usually for timing purposes...
