A few days ago I mounted my engine. The instructions say to torque the bolts to 160 - 190 inch/pounds. When I torque the bolts to 160 most of the cotter pin holes don't line up so they can be used. Re-torquing to 190 doesn't move the bolt enough to open up the holes. In order to line up the holes one has to exceed the 190 setting by a considerable amount. I researched the issue and discovered that the advice is to insert an extra thin or thick washer and try again. Problem is there doesn't seem to be any extra washers furnished in the kit to use for this.
So, do you over-torque and live with that, or obtain some extra washers on your own and try to get the final torque in the 160 - 190 range?
What have others done?
