Google is your friend.Here's a few,you can google the rest yourself.You could also buy yourself a Haynes or Chiltons manual,they have the torque specs for the majority of fasteners.

You're making me feel old :) I figured Youtube/Google put them out of business 25 years ago. But yeah, we'd have all been dead in the water without those back in the day!
I still buy them,as i prefer having something to lay out under the hood to look at .I'd rather flip pages with greasy fingers then try to make a $h!tty a$$ little phone work,with a screen to small to read ,especially if the suns shining on it:waytogo: :Big Laugh:

The grease concentration on a given section is/was somewhat of a testament to the reliability (or not) of certain parts/systems. I drove a lot of Toyotas and I don't know if parts were just junk or I was poor and bought junk (or both) but wow, did I ever trash the pages for starters, alternators and water pumps.

Does anyone know the torque spec for what I have circled in the picture, I have to change it from my old water pump to my new one. I think on older hemis with the 5.7 it used to be just a bleeder screw but my truck has a nipple there where a hose hooks to,ive tried calling the dealer for the torque spec but they couldn't help me out,thanks.

And I have never, ever busted a manual by accidentally closing the hood on it

At least you use a sh***y little phone...my in-laws want nothing to do with a smart phones..they still use a flip phone....was a pain to even get them get those. They built a smaller house around the block to be closer to us...wouldnt even let internet cabling be installed as i told them to do.:33:

I was forced to retire my flip phone a few years back when it finally died after 20 years,and i couldn't get it fixed,nobody had any parts to fix it :rolleyes: :Big Laugh:
