Torque chart
TGS4 - I suggest that you READ the article I sent the link on. http://www.zerofast.com/torque.htm It has a good explanation as to why different grade bolts are torqued differently. It has to do with the yield strength of the bolt. Here is another handy reference...- cgilman

Torque chart
There is more to it than just having a chart. It depends on the fastener being used (i.e. bolt grade) and whether or not it is lubricated. Here is another link to how to calculate the proper torque for a particular fastener: http://www.zerofast.com/torque.htm- cgilman
