Volvo Penta GXI 5.7 rebuild

[@dond293]

I'm doing a complete rebuild to a 5.7L GXi-B. The block wasn't rebuildable. I'm using a VP workshop manual but I can't find any reference to the torque spec for the studs that go into the crank to hold the flywheel and engine coupler in place. The manual does say to torque the coupler nuts to 40-45 Lbs but has no reference to the studs. I plan to use Locktite and to get them tight but anything beyond about 10 lbs seems like I'm just going to ruin the crank threads as the solid center of the stud gets pulled into the threaded area. Do you have any suggestions on torque or process? Thanks, great video.

Hi Junkin good work,I need 2 pieces of 5.7 gxi ecm,do you have advise where to find.

They are hard to find. The only thing I can recommend is keep your eyes out in market place around Florida or eBay.
