NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE TORQUE SPECS FOR A GSR HEAD IS ???? I TRIED SEARCHING AND FOUND NOTHING ! SOMEONE HELP ME THANKS

 

SOMEONE PLZ HELP

 

Don't mean to sound like an @$$ but I wouldn't be taking the head on and off unless I had a repair manual w/ torque specs listed, or unless I had done it many times and knew the torque specs anyway.... but to answer the question it is 60 lb ft.

But to prevent warping the head, you have to tighten them in order (crisscross pattern) in 2 steps. First step to 22 lb ft, then finally to 60.

If standing in front of the car facing the engine, the tightening sequence is:

9-5-1-3-7
8-4-2-6-10

But I guess you knew that part already.

 

Your the man Patrick.

 

thank you !

 

Now go buy a repair manual if you don't have one.

 

i have done the 13 times and i have always, torque it first at 22 ft lbs. than at 45 ft lbs. and then finally at 65 ft lbs. reason why is because i think that from 20 to 60 is too big of a jump.
when torquing the head bolts go from the middle to the outside or you may worp the head.
Also when putting the head bolts back in use a little oil to lube the threads but not alot. hope u did not put any kind of a scratch on the block surface, or the head where the gasket goes because it wont allow a good seal. No oil or water can be anywhere on the head gasket or it wont seal.
timing is a bitch kinda. if the car does not start after about three cranks than quit. or you will worp the piston rings. the reason why the rings will worp, when the valves are closed the the piston is moving down is creats great amount of suction cause no air can ecape causing the rings to bend, it can and will happen, air does not expand. if this does happen than your car will smoke and your car will burn oil like crazy. this happened my first time infact all my mistakes happened my first time, but hey I have learned alot from my mistakes.

 

one more thing, when torqing the head bolts if one of them feel different or if they are making noises then stop and remove them all, and start over. Or you will break the head bolts, or worse they can break and you wont know it until you get on it cause the head will lift and you will blow ur motor. its better to take it slow then to rush things. you will be happier in the end. GOOD LUCK
