Wilson says (pg 150) "14 ft./lbs." which seems a little >low for an 8mm bolt, but I go ahead and use that. 14 lb. ft. does seem low for an 8mm, but it's going into wicked soft aluminum. After I got tired of stopping to put in Helicoils I started paying closer attention to the torques. However, those bolts are M10, not M8 -- and 33 lb ft is consistent with the other M10s on the motor. Maybe the aircooleds used M8s? david
