[C320-list] Keel bolt/nut torque?

[Art Harden]

I wanted to torque mine a couple of years ago and got a lot of different info. Anywhere between about 60 and 150 foot pounds. As an old mechanic I figured I would use my past feel for where it should be and I hit on 95-100. If you the smaller 3/4” bolt in the rear, I tightened that on till good and snug. 

Hope this helps.
