Dumb Question Thread - No Flaming Allowed

I have a dumb question regarding Schrick Cams.

I have the 272 Exhaust cam already.

Can the following part be used as the INTAKE?

An M8 bolt is typically a 13mm socket heat bolt, so 18 ft-lbs.

It's a 13mm. I'll keep it at 18 ft-lb thanks! But just in case you guys are working on Toyotas they don't always follow the ISO convention as they spec some fasteners to have hex drives different from ISO in order to keep it less complicated in the factory from a tooling standpoint.

What is the torque spec on the oil filter housing bolt? In my old Bentley, I have hand written 24ft-lb then scratched it out and wrote 18ft-lb; I don't remember why. The TIS states full flow lid style is 24 ft-lbs, which I guess is what this is ??

It is different depending on where you look, 18ftlbs vs 24ftlbs.

Since TIS has 22NM (~18ftlbs) for M8 bolt and 33NM (24ftlbs) for M10 and M12, we should know which it is if you can get the diameter of the bolt.

Took some measurements from my removed factory trunk lid.

Thank you kind sir! The pictures and dimensions are very helpful, I will add that one to my next order and give it a shot.

Struggling to find part number for the plugs that fill these holes on each side of the trunk lid…anyone have it?

Would it be a waste of money buying a Genuine BMW clutch kit over a Sachs clutch kit? After reading some threads it sounds like it's best to just buy the Sachs clutch kit with the LuK TOB?

I bought a Dinan intake kit and studying install, my laziness is really kicking in. Supposed to relocate the Xenon ignitor per Dinan instructions and I'm thinking, really? Can anyone chime in on the need for this? My OCD then kicks in with modifying the bracket and I'm like, well, gotta buy a new one of those to keep everything original...man I'm lazy these days. BUT--pulling the driver headlight to do this motivates me to pull the passenger side, and send out to Lightwerkz for the projector rebuild I've been delaying. So not all bad!

My Innovate LC-2 wideband arrives Monday. I have euro headers and euro section 1 with cats.

It looks as though this doesn't simply replace a pre cat O2 sensor and that I will need to weld in a new bung. Is that correct? I'm also assuming this needs to go pre cat and that a pre cat section 1 install is fine.

Make sure your shop knows how to weld correctly. Lost a good set of euro headers due to bad welding about 15 years ago.

Yeah, with the euro headers you will need a new bung pre-cat.

Most all the aftermarket headers have 4 bungs so all your sensors have a place, it's easier to install one of these in that case.

The FW has it 4mm higher, so CSL full would be 4mm above the max fill line on the non-CSL dipstick.

This corroborates the difference: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/s...7267#post97267

Awesome. Learned something new today.
