im putting new gaskett in and need to know the head torque specs... i searched for a few mins but could only mostly find single cams and B16's i need is for my b18a1.....
thx

 

for the oem headbolts you tq them all to 20 ,,then final tq them to 61,,its a 2step tq proccess..and you have to do it in the right sequence..

9 5 1 3 7

8 4 2 6 10

 

thx mr. speaker!!!

 

sorry to be a noob but what happens if you dont torq your **** down for example i wanted to torq my sparkplugs down but my friend said its alright just hand tighten it.... is that bad

with aluminum bad things can happen...over tq it and warp the head,,,under tq and it comes loose..

but with spark plugs you dont have to tq it down to spec...just use common sense with the aluminum head...tighten just enough.but dont go crazy
