I would use standard grade five bolt torque, tighten each side evenly. I'm not aware of anywhere Cat speced a torque for those.

I have not seen a torque spec. What info I have states to tighten enough to where there is no leakage. Over tightening can lead to distorting the injector.

With the later style fuel nozzle capsules, like on the D311, D315 engines is where you have to be careful not to over tighten, those are hand tightened to the adapter and the nut is torqued to 105 ft lbs.
Like mag mentioned tight enough so there is no leakage.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
