    Anybody got a minute? Random questions before I go for the M50 swap on Friday

    1. Anyone know the thread pitch and grade of the lollipop bolts? They're M10x40, I'd guess around 1.25 or 1.5mm thread pitch, but the car's far away, the dealer doesn't know any more than realoem, doesn't stock them and I fucked up the threads on one of 'em.

    2. Also, the spec of the M50 crank pulley bolts WITH A/C.

    3. And last but not least I could use some torque specs:
    M20 flywheel bolts
    M20 PP-to-flywheel bolts
    M50 oil pump nut
    And M50 crank pulley

    I know I should have a bentley manual or something and I did, but I lost it, my car's 50 miles away and in a thousand pieces, I need to try and finish it on Friday and I've got class all day and homework all night. Yes I did my best with google and search, but I could have missed something.

      Thanks. Loctite 270? I've got 242 and 262, but no 270, was just planning on using 242 (off-the-shelf medium strength).

          270 was quoted from my Bentley. I doubt it matters really, as long as you use something. How much stronger could it be?

            Got it. I've got another question: What size wrench (skinny?) do I need to grip an E36 tie rod? I used vice grips to break the old ones loose and I'd rather install the new ones the right way.
