Torque converter nut spec
For whatever reason I can’t seem to google this appropriately....... anyone know the torque spec on the nuts that hold the TC to the flywheel?

Thanks

Metric fasteners I presume? 8.8 or 10.9? M8 or M10?

Does the manual call for something like blue Loc-Tite as well, or the Ford equivalent?

These are the little nuts for the TC, not sure the label on them.

there was no locktite or the such on them when we took them off.

3/8-24 threads. Use flange nuts.



6 of the only 9 fasteners that aren't metric when dealing with a 7.3/E4OD.

The 4 that hold the lower torque converter cover (the tin thing) to the bellhousing. They're 5/16-18 with a 3/8 head.

Oops, I said 9 when I meant 10......product of early-90's Columbus High School's math program.
