                 The above torque values may be used for all cadmium-plated steel nuts of the fine or coarse thread series which have approximately equal number of threads and equal face bearing areas.

                 *  Estimated corresponding values.

       

      My engine mount to firewall bolts are 7/16 - 20.  I use 40 foot pounds (480 inch pounds).
