Head Bolt Torque?
I thought this would be easy, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting information out there.
I find either 29.5 ft-lbs +90 +90 or 44-34 ft-lb +90 +90. I believe(d) the 29.5 ft lb was correct. I think some sites confuse nm with foot lbs., or they confuse the SOHC with the 20v head.
Anyway, I am putting my head on today and want to get it right - which I believe is 29.5 ft-lb
Would be grateful for confirmation.
BTW hear is a good link: www.torkspec.com/torkspec.aspx. Seems to have everything and be correct.
