Torque bolts on flywheel
Have a worrying question to ask
According to haynes for the 1.25 zetec SE engine it says the bolts must be torqued upto 30NM and then by a further 80 Deg.
Now I've only actually just realised that I accidentally took the Torque settings for the endura engine which are 67NM
Do you think this will have much effect in terms of the flywheel shaking the bolts loose?

Any bolts with degree setting are usually stretch bolts, or torque to yield bolts.
It would be sensible to replace these rather than risk one or more breaking due to possible over tightening, just not worth the risk imo, in light of the consequences of a snappage.
