General TR Torque for the Camshaft Bolts

[KVH]

On the subject of rebuilding the engine: How do you torque the sprocket camshaft bolts while keeping the cam from turning? I can freeze the crank but that would mean I'm applying torque pressure to the timing chain. Advice please? thx

I'm no expert, but hat's the way I did it. Orient the torque wrench across the bolt opposite the one you're tightening to minimize torque on the chain. Tom

And/or a block of wood between the crank and block to hold it stationary.

IMO the chain is plenty strong enough to take the torque. I just used a piston stop.
