but the 5 stages are...
22
72
slacken off
22
75
so do i just torque the bolts to 75. or do i knock it back first, then retighten to 22 and then 75?
its just im getting some air leaking into the coolant so rather than having to do the head gasket AGAIN im hoping they just need to be re-torqued
mecahnic mate isnt sure
he reckons u dont have to do it... but im getting some air leaks into the coolant system which would indicate head gasket leaking.
no no
ive torqued it down in the 5 stages already with a torque wrench
but your supposed to re-torque it after a while cos aluminium expands + contracts so much. i want to know how to do this... cos a gasket is sealed by crushing it you can exactly go through the 5 stages again.... so im assuming you just make sure its on the final torque setting. but am not sure
i posted something in forced induction about this, but you guys always have the answers to my questions so ill try here
i have to re-torque my head, how do i do this?
do i just make sure the bolts are at their final stage torque rating? (75ftlbs)
hey guys
ive got all the torque settings for the RB20 head, and ive done all 5 stages. but its about 2 weeks later and i need to re-tension it... do i simply make sure it is tensioned to the final stage tension?
the reason im doing this is bcos im getting air bubbles in the coolant and thinking the gasket may be leaking...
thanks for the help
