PART TRADING: * If you have parts you would like to trade please do so at our new subreddit r/PartIt A routine of mine that is not necessary, but I have found helps prevent warping when torquing the head, is when torquing to final spec of 100 degrees, first tighten 60 degrees on all the bolts in the same order as the first two steps, then an additional 40 degrees all around in the same order.Join the /r/MechanicAdvice IRC for instant conversations with other users on libera.chat irc network. A torque angle meter is required to do this properly and to specification. Finally, in the same order as the previous two steps, torque all the bolts an ADDITIONAL 100 degrees (10 degrees past 1/4 turn).
Next, in the same order as before, tighten the long bolts to 43 lb/ft and the short bolts to 46 lb/ft. The long bolts must first be tightened to 22 lb/ft and the short ones to 23 lb/ft. I prefer to go in a clockwise rotation, but as long as it is in the correct order, rotation is not important. First, tighten all bolts in a circular motion, starting from the center and working outwards. If it is an OHV engine (solid push rods with and internal camshaft and rockers on the head studs) there is a sequence to tightening the head bolts. The head bolts are torqued to yield on these engines, meaning that once they have been torqued to specification, they must be replaced when removed. When torquing to final spec of 100 degrees, first tighten 60 degrees on all the bolts in the same order as the first two steps, then an additional 40 degrees all around in the same order. Start in the center, and work to the edges, torquing the bolts in two stages. Short bolts are torqued 43'lbs + 90 degrees. Long bolts are torqued to 46'lbs + 90 degrees.
