Default Yb engine torque settings

Does anyone have a list of torque settings for a Yb?

It's a 2wd engine, cometic head gasket, standard head bolts if that makes any difference

Cheers

30, 60, 90 lbft & torque the studs to 60lbft

Make sure you use shit loads of oil on the nuts, once all finished, leave it a few hours and re-check the 90 lbft torque setting

also, make sure you clean out the bolt holes, you dont want any debris or fluid in there at all

sorry, my mistake, i thought i read you were using studs. Either way "i think" the settings are the same

are you using genuine head bolts? not the cheap copies?

I'd call a cossie engine builder if you want a quick answer. I have the details but their at home and that's not much use when I'm sitting in Bucharest.... I googled it and got different number to what is quoted above

I got a mate to check Autodata for them in the end. For future reference they are:
1: 20-25Nm
2: 45-50Nm
3: 180 degrees
