(For a stage 3 saff coz, 200 block, 6 studs)

Does anybody know how you torque down a head when you have 6 studs and 2 bolts, because the bolts are obviously stretch bolts and the studs arnt - and to what torque?

Plus what are the spark plug gaps, crank sensor gaps and the phase sensor gaps.

Oh and what torque setting for the cam bearings.

Dont want a lot do i !

Thanks in advance

If you have 6 studs and 2 bolts i'd be worried - very worried


torquing down is in the normal order, and to the normal torque settings in a 3-stage tightening sequence, starting from the middle and working outwards in a zig-zag back-to-front fashion

plug gaps, if using coilpacks - 0.8mm, if using standard dizzy, 0.65mm
CPS gap - 0.2mm to 0.3mm
Phase gap - 0.3mm to 0.4mm


torque setting for camcap covers is 12Nm off the top of my head

Nice one and I meant 4 bolts (it been a long day )

What are the torques for the 3stage sequence?

PeterLucas

Oh and has anybody had to grind a socket down to do the head nuts up? or does the head normally get machined .

Not looking forward to grinding me Snap-On stuff

whats studs are you usings

as i know that arp say dont go by fords torques setting and to go by theres

i asked this at a place up the road from a skyline tuners and the answer i got was each bolt manufacture will have a different setting to a ford one

so go by what the bolt manufacture recommends for torque settings


what do you mean grind a socket down?

Graceland

grinding the diameter of the socket down so that it fits in the recesses in the head, this is due to the long stud bolts being a larger diameter than ford bolts


If you are going to grind one down, go buy a high quality impact socket, and then get it turned down on a lathe

PeterLucas

Yeah my mates offered me some old impact 3/8 stuff so off to the grinder.
