I don't see the torque value for the camshaft journal bolts... I found the tightening order but not the torque?

(I have substandard internet service so can't search for a long time)

Thank you!

From the AN400 K7+ page 1D23 Camshaft journal holder bolt tightening torque, 10 NM (1.0 kgf-m, 7.0 lb-ft).
There is also a listing on the previous page referring to the same thing but with a 0.7 ft - lb rating.
This last one 0.7 has to be a (typo) because the first reading I gave were taken from when the journals were
being plastigauged for clearance. The book specs for the journal clearance service limit is 0.15mm (0.0059 in)
This I am assuming is probably what the more recent models would be at. My 400 is the K7+ but as far
as I know there haven''t been any changes to the motor. If anyone has a newer Suzuki manual and would like to verify
that it would be appreciated. Good luck in your wrenching.

Thank you!
(7.4 ft.-lbs. doesn't seem like a lot. I'm glad I asked!)
"Upon further review" I found the 10 N-m figure in the tutorial...

I'm a few minutes late, but since I have it, per 1D-21 of the Service Manual,

• Tightening torque
  Camshaft journal holder bolt: 10 N·m (1.0 kgf-m, 0.7 lb-ft)

I used an on-line converter, 10 N-m is about 7 ft-lb.
0.7 looks like a typo
at any rate, a small value, would be easy to over-torque :shock:
