ok i went and looked up the pattern and saw that there was two ways on how to do it.
1) the spiral pattern.
intake------------------------9-5-1-3-7
exhaust----------------------8-4-2-6-10

2 theres this one.
intake--------------------9-5-1-3-7
exhaust-----------------10-6-2-4-8


which one should i use???
oh yeah and i have eagle head studs going in too.

 

Number 1, most definitely. #2 will likely result in uneven torque application. DO NOT use #2.

Where exactly did you find that #2 pattern?

 

Number 1 for sure.

Do it in steps. Start with 20lbs run through all ten of them then jump to 40lbs then 65lbs.
I usually torque my ARP studs to 68lbs.

 

I found it on HT somewhere. ill try to go find it and not put there names on here.

 

That's not necessary. I was just wanting to make sure you didn't see it in a repair manual or something.

 

CYLINDER HEAD BOLT TORQUE SPECS (tightening) / (loosening)
8, 4, 2, 6, 10 <---intake order 3, 7, 9, 5, 1
7, 3, 1, 5, 9 <---exhaust order 4, 8, 10, 6, 2

Torque in steps: 22ft-lbs (264in-lbs), Then to 63ft-lbs (756in-lbs) (final spec) 94+ Teg
Torque in steps: 22ft-lbs (264in-lbs), Then to 61ft-lbs (732in-lbs)(final spec) 90-93 Teg / B16's

his pattern may be the opposite of mine but its similar.

 

meh neither of those orders are as good as the first order you posted in your OP. That's really the only TRUE criss-cross tightening sequence that will ensure the most evenly applied torque on the bolts/studs.

Image from the "how to build a reliable LSVTEC/B20VTEC" thread, same as the first sequence you posted in the OP:



The other orders you described sound more like the cam place cover sequence, but those have 14 bolts each.

 

oh okay.
thank you all for helping me figure this out.

 

Great info *saves in "My Notes"

Is this the same way to remove the Head also? or the reverse way? as in

2-6-10-8-4
3-7--9-5-1

 

Correct you do it in reverse order

 

hi every one. my question is: is this torque specs are the same for a 1999 acura integra 1.8 GS? thank you for you answer in advance.
