Proper torque is very important. When you over torque you are starching what ever you have just tighten and have weaken it.:thumbdown:

reynold.. so you suggest we undertorque the 100 lb-ft per the torque sheet for this horizontal 12xxxx ?
Are we better off to undertorque than risk the 100 lb-ft spec is overtorque?

Also, there is a slight bit of slack in the key/keyway... should that slack be taken out one direction or the other... say either CW or CCW before torquing the flywheel nut?
I'm thinking rotate the flywheel in CW direction against the crank.

Thanks

Update on the Intek 900.
Today we put the engine back together with the new camshaft and it fired off and ran fine.
