Does anyone know the actual torque spec,
for the 4 whipple pulley allen head bolts?

also does anyone use blue locktite on these?

I've never used locktite on my Saleen pulley allen head bolts. I just snug em up pretty good with a 3/8" ratchet. I'd say 25ft-lbs is more than enough.

thanks drbobvs, i searched the web and
just couldn't find what i was looking for.

i ended up starting low and working my
way up to 85 inch lbs, cause i didn't
want to over torque.....

it sure would be nice to know what they
are torqued at, from the factory....

It's 17 ft lbs. I emailed whipple to get the specs.

I've never used loctite on the bolts.

excellent thanks moose! i'll add a note
to my manual.....

Good thinking starting small, 25 ft lbs would likely snap one of those bolts. I've changed my pulley three times, about to be 4 and they have never been loose.

it's nice to be able to change
from 8 - 10psi and back again, without
needing a new tune....
