Default Torque specifications for engine hood bolts
Dear All,

Do you know the torque specifications of the engine hood hinge bolts? I have to align the hood and I don't want to overtight nor loosely tight them. I searched everywhere but no luck.
Thanks for your help!

yes thats because it uses german metrics of the goodentighten scale.
if you snap the bolt you went too far.

So shouldn’t I afraid of snapping the fiberglass hood? The bolt will be the first that will die?

when in doubt i guess you can use general practice depending on the screw type and grade. there are metric and standard scales.
here is a metric scale for reference.
