O.k I did some searching and i found two. Which one is the correct way.

tightening

73159
842610

or

93157
862410

loosening

261084
35 971

 

I dont even know what thats referring to.

 

thats the head torque sequence. the first one is definitely NOT right. the second is close but not sure about 7,8,9,10.

i think loosening is just the opposite of tightening. so once you figure out the correct tightening sequence, you will be fine. make sure you only tighten/loosen in small increments.

helms is your friend.

 

This is what i use.

you are "supposed" to use a crisscross pattern when tightening as per helms...

however it probably doesnt really matter as long as you spread it out evenly across the head and go in small increments.

 

oh ****. copied the wrong diagram.

 

Loosening I use an impact and just have at it, tightening, i go by what the helms says.

 

i was like wtf is this guy talking about? lol

 

dam i went with this for tightening

73159
842610

Did i mess up anything? Can i just loosen and re torque them again. The motor has not been turned over. I have brand arp head bolts and oem head gasket too.

So this is the right way?

Is this the correct way to loosen?

as I said, if you do increments, it shouldnt be a problem. the whole point to torqueing the head down a certain way is to get a nice even flat seal and avoid warping the head. if the motor is step decked or o ringed you can have problems if you dont do this properly. if the motor is stock or close to stock you will probably be fine.

 

thanks
