Torque battery cable on the engine block
Hello, as the title suggests, I need the torque value for the negative battery cable grounded on the engine block. I assume it's 11 ft lbs the same as all the other battery torque values I've seen, but I wanted to confirm. Thanks guys!

Thank you, I see torque values for the Negative Battery Cable on the Differential, Transmission, and the Clutch in that pdf. However, not on the Engine block. Does anyone know what it is supposed to be on the Engine block? Thanks!

if your asking about the "Negative Battery Cable Ground Nut" (8mm thread) on the engine block, it is 71-lb-in
The torque for the "Negative Battery Terminal Bolt" (10mm thread) is 11-lb-ft just like either positive or negative Battery Cable to Battery Bolts.
The nomenclature gets a bit confusing.
