TM 10-3930-659-20 APPENDIX E TORQUE LIMITS E-1. SCOPE. This appendix lists standard torque values, as shown in Table E-1, and provides general information for applying torque.    Special  torque  values  and  tightening  sequences  are  indicated  in  the  maintenance  procedures  for  applicable components. E-2. GENERAL. a. Always use the torque values listed in Table E-1 when the maintenance procedure does not give a specific torque value. b. Unless otherwise indicated, standard torque tolerance shall be i 10%. c. Torque values listed are based on clean, drythreads.  Reduce torque by 10% when engine oil is used as a lubricant.  Reduce torque by 20% if new plated capscrews are used. d. Capscrews threaded into aluminum may require reductions in torque of 30% or more of Grade 5 capscrews torque.  Capscrew threaded into aluminum must also attain two capscrew diameters of thread engagement.
