i blew the headgasket so i took everything apart got the gaskets, got the head decked so its ready to be put back on but i dont know the tourqe specs for the head and the manifolds. also i need to know what the tightining pattern is for the head bolts.

if anyone can tell me what it is or give me a link it would be much appreciated!

thanks in advance!!!

 

.7 5 1 3 9
10 4 2 6 8

Torque in 3 steps. (Or thats how I did it to be efficient)

Tighten all 10 bolts in order to 14 ft lb.
Tighten all 10 bolts in order again to 36 ft lb.
Tighten all 10 bolts in order again to 49 ft lb.

Go back and re-torque bolts #1 and #2 to 49 ft lb.

 

is #1 starting from top left?

 

no, #1 bolt is the center top bolt. just like i showed you.

ohh i see. yo thanks alot bro!!!!

 

np, helped me alot whenever i had to do that same job

 

what should the manifolds be tourqed to? also the cam gear? also from the header to exhaust pipe? those bolts were hard as hell to get off so im not sure if they need to be tourqed to?
