How do i retorque head bolts..

Im driving my b16 hard and want to retorque the head bolts.

What is the pattern and how much torque..

Any help would greatly appriciated

 

I would purchase a repair manual. It will show you everything you need to know. To re-torque the head you will have to take out the camshafts, if you are not familiar with engines then I would not attempt it.
It is very unlikely that you need to re-torque the head just because you have been driving it hard. Are you running high boost, nitrous, or seeing 10,000+ RPMs a lot? If no, then even more the reason NOT to waste your time with this.

 

I dont have boost but I am driving upthere alot with the rpms though.. Maybe be a little easier on the eingine 8000+ alot..

 

plus it has a new head gasket maybe 30,000 miles ago.. its a jdm first generation b16.. im seeing some oil by the tranny.. the gasket has a little lip and see just a little bit of oil...

 

ya they usually get a little oil there but if you just put a new head gasket its fine the b16 is suppose to rev to 8200 so it will be fine there all day unless you pull the head studs out you shouldn't need to torque them the oil could also be from valve cover gasket, dizzy seal going bad or the cam seal on the tranny side of exhaust leaking too....

 

I was looking at that junky thanks.. It might be dizzy seal..

thanks guys

 

or it quite likely could be your cam endcap seal. inspect this area and see if thats actually where the oil is coming from.



if so this writeup will show you how to replace it.
