Torque Specs For Water Pump & Crank Pulley
 

So I've made several attempts to find this through search, read a ton of posts that I thought might have the info but didn't and searched the big wide web as well as looked in the manual and only found a mix of info.

Hoping to confirm water pump torque on a 402 BBC. I've seen 30lbs and 35lbs. Probably not much of a difference between the two but for my nerves, I'm going to ask.

For the crank pulley, I have yet to see numbers but more 3 ugga duggas, a bit of goodentite and other funny additives. :lol:If anyone has thoughts on that, it would be helpful as I put this front end back together. Cheers!

Hey Greg. Thanks for answering buddy. I meant to throw that into my email but forgot so I figured I would post here. Thanks for the info as always. Hoping to wrap this last important piece up for an upcoming episode so I can move on to the next part/episode. LOL.

hi Art,i looked through several of the GM service manuals i have for these old trucks and cars,but couldn't find a torque value for the balancer pulley bolts but did find a torque value sheet for a Chevy big block crate engine and it said 40 ft lbs for the balancer pulley bolts.it wouldn't be a huge number,40 won't hurt you.all the best.Greg.
