M10 Or M12

Recommended Posts

Guest ashnicholls

How do you tell whether the bolt in the cam belt cog is a M10 (to be torqued to 40Nms) or an M12 (to be torqued to 80Nms).

 

Cheers

105bhp XU5J engines which are very rare in a 205.

 

Torque for the M10 is in the supplement at the back.

Even with only the aid of a wooden ruler marked out by a blind man's guide dog surely you can measure the difference between a 10mm diameter bolt and a 12mm one.

Oh so even you can do it then.

 

I know how to measure the size of a bolt, i wanted to know what M10 and M12 meant.

M = metric i.e. millimetres

 

10 = 10 millimetres

12 = 12 millimetres
