Lugnuts
 
What's the spec for the lugnuts? How many ft/lbs am I suppose to torque them down to on my '99 LS1.

12 x 1.5 threads. 100 ft-lbs of torque.

I do too... I havent used a torque wrench in a while.

Maybe I should pick one up.

mxracerbrian 01-21-2007 03:17 PM

i just use a 3/8, 1/2 or 3/4 inch impact for tightening junk. the only thing i ever use a torque wrench on is while putting rocker arms back on while replacing heads

paarman97maro 01-21-2007 04:43 PM

So 12x1.5... Theyre the same as like acuras and most other lugnuts? Im looking for some wheel locks and it says 12x1.5 but it says for hondas and ****. As long as its 12x1.5 it will work?

Wrong.
For LS1, this is the procedure to warp your discs. Creaking is already over 100 usually. Too loose and I'd be keeping my speed under 150.

LoL, Id hope youre keeping it under 150 anyway..

I think that procedure goes for all engines.. not just LS1s.. Considering we all have the same studs.

Was I incorrectly informed by numerous F-Body boards as well as parts departments and auto parts stores that the rotors for LS1s and LT1s are completely different and incompatible?
Why keep my speed below 150?

97z2801ss 01-31-2007 12:10 PM

The Ls1 Rotors are diffrent the the Lt1s for sure.... Ls1s are bigger..

They have tq specs for a reason..;)
