what torque settings do you guys use,on the head ?

 

anyone?

 

studs into the block? or just the nuts on the studs?

if its just nuts onto the studs then i "THINK" its around 120lbft, but i dont know for sure so maybe someone else can help

a little tip tho, once you've torqued them up, leave it a day or so and recheck/ re-torque

cheers

 

err..........what fooking engine......lol

 

if it's a cossie.....then (positive) mine are 30 60 90 ftlbs.....then check again at 90ftlbs

 

Yer that rings home with me too

 

yeah! yb doh!
cheers guys thought it was just checking

 

Ali is this for your engine?

hows the car going?

 

yeah! one of them ,its been so long from me rebiulding one i thought id better check

 

ive done mine at 90lbft and the same on the 4 corner standard bolts and its held for over a year and a half no probs

 

this for the fez?

thought we might have seen it when we was up @ knockers for time attack

was such a good weekend tho

 

not had much time lately with work and kids etc
should see it out soon tho

 

I use a finished tq of 95ftlb and oil threads/washers/nuts with normal engine oil.
