Help on Torque Spec for Stretch Head Bolts
Im doing a headgasket on a 90 DX hatchback. I had to order new head bolts. The ones are got are oem, but they are strech head bolts. I am pretty sure that the torque spec is not going to be the same, hence using a different head bolt. I know normal the spec is 22ftlb then 49ftlb. Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the stretch head bolts?

I don't think Honda uses stretch (ie torque to yield) head bolts on that motor. And if they do, they need to be replaced. Torque to yield head bolts can only be used once.

Thanks for the reply, but if anyone has seen these type of headbolts and knows what they are talking about, you know that its a stretch bolt. Its not the correct name of type of bolt I am after. Its the important part, the updated torque spec.

As I said, you don't reuse them with a different torque spec, you replace them. At least if they are indeed torque-to-yield.

Thanks, Honda emailed me the updated info.
