Torque multiplier and adaptor kit for Ford 1.0 litre Ecoboost engine

Torque multiplier and adaptor kit for Ford 1.0 litre Ecoboost engine

Tuesday 11 December 2018

The Laser tools make access a very straightforward job: once the engine flywheel has been locked (locking tool in Laser timing tool kit Part Number 6952), the right-hand driveshaft bracket is removed and the main bracket and fittings from the adaptor kit are bolted onto the engine. The torque multiplier is now fitted and turned with a 1/2" drive bar or ratchet. The nine-to-one ratio of the torque multiplier makes removing the extremely tight securing bolt an easy task.

The same set-up is used when refitting and tightening (it’s a stretch-bolt, so make sure you fit a new one). The tightening sequence includes the use of a torque wrench, then the torque multiplier. Full instructions are supplied with the 7317 adaptor kit.

The 7318 torque multiplier has a 1/2" drive input and 3/4" drive output; the maximum output torque figure is 1500Nm. It is geared at 9:1 with a torque ratio of 1:6.5. The 7317 is manufactured by Laser Tools at their Sheffield facility and is suitable for the 1.0 litre Ecoboost with following engine codes: M1JA, M1JE, M1JH, SFJA, SFJB, SFJC, SFJD, M1DA, M2DA, M1DD, M2DC, M1JC, M1JJ, P4JA, P4JB, P4JC, P4JD, XMJA, XMJB, XMJC, XMJD, YYJA, YYJB, M2DB, SFDB, M2GA, M2GB, M1CA, M1CB, SFCA, SFCB, SFCC and SFCD.
