birdmandan Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Heya guys well basically i have stripped my head down and caught my headgasket on its way out before it caused major damage so i have some ARP headbolts and an athena headgasket to go back in there for safe measure Now the point where i need help and perfection is I need to know the exact Torque setting and Torque sequence Of the headbolts please And possibly if its available from anyone the torque of every bolt when putting the head back together please Thanks very much!Dan Quote
Sparky Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Hey bud same set up as me I torqued mine down 20ft/lbs then 40ft/lbs then 60ft/lbs as it says in the ARP instructionsWill get you the torque sequence now Hows that before Friday lol Quote
birdmandan Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 Thanks very much buddy! i cant tell you how much its appreciated! yeeew de man! will the settings change if i have gone from the standard 1.2 mm thickness to a metal 1.4mm headgasket? Quote
Sparky Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 No worries mate Cant answer that question but I doubt it tbh Quote
birdmandan Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 also dont suppose ya have the torque settings for any of the other bolts do you? like the cam caps (i tihnk thats what they called, the little bridge looking things ) or do they not need to be torqued?Dan Quote

rorenapier Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 Headgasket thickness does not matter with head bolts.Its the tensile strength of the bolt that decides the torque Quote
birdmandan Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 ahh right okay well my headbolts didnmt come with any intructions or anything so im gonna have to ring TMD then and ask him what the torque settings are for the ARP headbolts! Dan Quote
rorenapier Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Thats the torque settings.I torqued mine down 20ft/lbs then 40ft/lbs then 60ft/lbs as it says in the ARP instructions Quote
