Hey guys, thanks for helping; this is for a stock b16a2.
I don't know the order of the torque sepcs.
I don't have a helms and I need to know the toqrue sepcs in sequence.

I know in the end it's 61ft.lbs.
Also is it best to just hand tighten them on and then start torquing, or is it ok to just start torquing them in order.


1st time around: ??
2nd time around: ??
3rd time around: 61ft/lbs

THANKS

The B16A head bolts are torqued to 61 ft/lbs, in sequence from the centre journals outwards. The cam journals and the oil bridge are torqued to 20 ft/lbs for the 8mm bolts and 7.2 ft/lbs for the 6mm bolts, again from the centre outwards.

Some engines have multiple torque specs for head bolts but not this particular one. And just bottom all of the bolts down by hand before you start torquing them down or you'll be on that torque wrench forever.

Thanks dude!
Great info on the journals but I just need the head stud torque in sequence.

Is it like 10ft/lbs and then 55 ft/lbs and then 61ft/lbs?
I think it's safer and cease a better balanced head mate when done a few times around.
I think a helms covers this but once again I don'tr know I'm just lookin for a helping hand.

Thanks!

There's only one torque spec for the B16A headbolts and it's 61 ft/lbs. I know what you're saying, some headbolts on other engines are torqued down in steps but not this one, at least according to the Honda manual.
