Quite possibly the greatest thread in the history of threads! That 98 page doc is amazing and timely as I'm currently doing Giubo, CSB and shocks/struts/springs

Thank you!

Hey Guys, does anyone know if there is a torque sequence for the main crankshaft caps? I can't seem to find info. THanks!

Describing torques with this is a lot easier than writing the name of the actual part and torque value.

I see this file is still useful I just logged back on this forum because I want to put my car back on the road, when I get some time...
I received a PM about a mistake in it, I'll look into it shortly.
