'Does anyone know the torque value for the
five-sixteenth nuts for the Ranger crankcase..the ones
that secure the two halves of the crankcase?

PS. I ordered a barrel of 120 oil for my Ranger a
couple of weeks ago from my local distributors only to
be told 120 is no longer being produced.
We'll probably have to go to 100 & pour in more oil.
Most of the radials, inlines etc of WW11 vintage use
the 120.
Also, does anyone know if 199LL is on the way out. I
heard something to this effect some time ago.

'One of my Ranger overhaul manuals had a table of standard torques to
use "unless otherwise specified". I don't have it handy, but it was
pretty much the same as the standard torque values shown in AC43-13,
which for 5/16 is 100-140 inch pounds. I used 120 if memory serves
correctly.

Regarding 120 being unavailable, I hadn't heard that. Although more
expensive lots of the big radial engine guys are using Phillips 25w60.
