16
23
42
60
just cant rember… thanks
In numerical order, torque the bolts down to 20 ft/lbs then again to 59ft/lbs.
In order loosen all the bolts.
Then again torque the bolts down to 25ft/lbs in order than 60ft/lbs.
All of these values are using ARP moly lube. Spec will be different for Oil and grease but moly-lube is recomended.
took me about 30 seconds on google… i cant sleep and got nothin else to do so enjoy.
hope this helps!
Curiously why do you have to tighten in numercial order does it matter ?
yeah thanks man thats awsome
it matters because the head gasket will actualy change shape and you want it to flex out not in to a bubble… its hard to explane…
you can try it non-numerically and see what happens:) if the gasket isn`t snug in a proper way it will blow out te side and well your in trouble then
nahhh then you just do it again!!! its tonns of funn
