anyone know the torque specs for cam caps and hold downs on a b16 head off a 2000 SI?

 

damn guys...someone gotta know!!!

 

17 ft-lbs and 7.2 ft-lbs.

 

i'm pretty sure it's 20 ft/lb and 7.2 ft/lb

Just looked it up-you are correct. I still only torque the 12mm bolts to 17.5 ft-lbs.
I have the cams out every other week, so bolt stretch is a concern

 

haha i'm in the same boat, am actually thinking of buying new cam cap bolts, i don't trust the old ones after all the times i've swapped cams

 

awesome...ive been looking for this everywhere!!! thanks guys!!!

 

anybody no whats that in inch pounds?

cause i have a torque wrench in inch pounds.

 

20 x12 or 17.5 x 12 I like the secoond one better.
EDIT 1 lb.ft =12 lb.in 20 lb.ft= 240 lb.in

so you always mutiply ft. lbs by 12 to get in. lbs?

 

i think it was 86 inch pounds

 

On the 6mm bolts not the 8mm bolts you are correct.
