Charger oil feed bolt!

Recommended Posts

I noticed there was a little bit of oil around the oil feed bolt where it bolts to the charger and it had sprayed the back of the grill and as the oil feed looks brand new i thought i bet the bolt is loose...took it out to clean the threads before i just tried tightening it..checked the washers and put it back in..tightening with a small 13mm spanner with 1 fingers worth of pressure and the damn thing snapped!

 

For a second my wallet got a sharp pain but luckily the threaded bit stuck in the charger was easy to remove. Just ordered a new bolt and copper washers from the stealers £1.55.

 

So the point of this long post is...what is the torque setting for this bolt as i don't want to make the same mistake twice!
