I figure you’re referring to the S13… the following is from the S15 fsm - I do not know if this applies to the S13 as well. I imagine it would. If not, I apologize.

Anyway…

Tighten all bolts to 39.2 N·m (4.0 kg-m, 29 ft-lb).
b) Tighten all bolts to 78.5 N·m (8.0 kg-m, 58 ft-lb).
c) Loosen all bolts completely.
d) Tighten all bolts to 34.3 - 44.1 N·m (3.5 - 4.5 kg-m, 26 - 32 ft-lb).

Order is:

…7 3 1 5 9
front…rear
…8 4 2 6 10

e) Turn all bolts 90-95 degrees clockwise with tool or suitable angle wrench
f) Turn all bolts 90-95 degrees clockwise (do not turn any bolt 180 to 190 degrees clockwise at once)

If angle wrench is not available, do the following:
Mark the side of all bolts with paint marks facing the front of the engine. Then turn them 90 to 95 degrees clockwise.
Turn all bolts 90 to 95 degrees clockwise.
Ensure that paint mark on each bolt faces the rear of the engine. Do not turn any bolt 180 to 190 degrees clockwise all at once.

great! thanks alot for the help guys!

ill get right on it tomorrow :lol:
