I'm interested in determining the specified torque for the nuts on the clamp plates of the Slick 4371 magneto. I've read back through all available threads in the archives and the information supplied varies wildly. In one thread a poster quoted a Sacramento Sky Ranch source indicating 110 to 150 inch lbs but that sounds low to me. The Champion Slick manual does not seem to specify the specific torque.
My guess is that the right figure is 17 ft lbs (204 inch lbs) as per the Lycoming Manual for standard 5/16 - 18 engine bolts/studs.
Does anyone have specific knowledge on this matter.
