I got 69-75Nm according to the subaru manual, which works out to be the same.

permatex blue thred lock + much less than 50ftpns of torque = broken bolt. 👎

Guess how I found this out. 🙄

I think the permatex acted like a lubricant and allowed me to tighten them up too much. I also think it might be a little stretched from previous torquing. Luckily Lee Brothers fasteners in Nth Parra had them for $3 a bolt. I'm replacing all 8 bolts and being more careful this time.

The thread lock shouldn't have caused the bolt to break, 50ftlb is 50ftlb. You using high tensile bolts?, I got grade 10.9's with my adapter.

the problem was my eyes, when I found the 50 mark on the torque wrench this arvo, I failed to see the '1' in front of the '50'. 🤪

anyway, all sorted now. New bolts, properly torqued to '50' (not 150!) ftbls, thread lock on and clutched cleaned and on as well. Motor nearly ready to go back in.
