Might want to include the FSM in the "Additional Helpful Info" section. Factory torque specs are in there.

Yes i did, that's where i got the #'s from.

I thought i'd make it easier than saying: "Go find, download, interpret the FSM for our car."

I think this thread is a good idea. Keep it to the basic stuff, and let people read the fsm for less common items.

I thought we just needed to tighten things down as far as they could go. Am I wrong?
