Head gasket questions

Post by suzukigav »

Hey i'm in the middle of replaceing the head gasket on my G13BA, does anyone know what the correct torque settings for the bolts that bolt the head down are?

And yes i searched and didn't find anything.

Just be careful of the tightening sequence, if you can't find one then just start in the middle and work outwards in a spiral.

7 3 2 6 10

Make sure the threads are clean and oiled and a small amount of oil between washer and bolt head too.

I've seen alloy heads that have been acid bathed and have had manifold bolts put in without running a tap down first. This has trashed the threads requiring heli-coils to be fitted (personal experience)
