Our customer service is happy to answer questions such as: “how much NM or what is the tightening torque of the head bolts of our Kubota engine”. In order to be able to answer this question faster, we have decided to write a short blog about it.
This blog will therefore only deal with valve adjustments and tightening torques of the Kubota V series engines. Questions like width of cylinder wall, crankshaft sizes etc. If you want we can write a blog about this later on. The article below is mainly about the purchase of the cylinder head gasket, glow plug and cylinder head.
Kubota
In general, an important rule is that the head bolts must first be provided with oil, on which the correct NM can then be measured with the torque spanner.
Torque setting for the 05-engines:
These include:
D905
D1005
D1105D1105T
