Default Re: Supercharger snout bolt torque?

After a little study I see that the snout bolt is an 8mm dia. flange bolt, 1.25 pitch, and stamped with NF/8.8.(I believe means Class 8.8?) Our chart shows Class 8 or Class 9, so either 24 ft.lbs. for class 8, or 27 ft.lbs. for class 9. Since I'm using blue threadlock, and 24 ft.lbs. seems like plenty; that's what I'm looking at. Does all that sound right to you Dave? NF means; National Fine (thread).
Class 8.8 is not mentioned, 9.8 is and it says 14.ft-lb. your 24 is too high I would say. So 8.8 would be a little less than 14 ft-lb, I think.
The NF stands for the manufacturer I think.
