Recommended torque specifications are listed throughout the Jeep service manuals and military Jeep publications. Consider the alternative, cracked engine blocks, warped cylinder heads, distorted leaking oil pans, broken bolts and studs and a whole lot of other problems. Tightening will always be understood to include the correct installation of lock washers, locknuts, lockwire, or cotter pins to secure the tightened nut. Do not overtighten: this may strip the threads causing distortion. Use a torque indicating wrench where specified. Unless otherwise specified in the individual installation procedures, all tightening operations should be performed with sufficient wrench torque (force on the wrench handle) to tighten a unit according to good mechanical practice.
