Torqueing the head is a 5 stage process.

I don't know about flywheel, I'll see if the JPNZ manual has the numbers.

Thanks

what are the stages.

I only wanted to know incase it was suggested as a good idea.

the engine going in is a complete low k's import, but it will see 20 psi +

I just wanted to make sure it was ok.

Head torque:

3 kg-m

11 kg-m

0 kg-m (ie back right off)

3 kg-m

11 +/- 0.5 kg-m

I got the flywheel ones, but they are different for auto / manual, and I have a horrible feeling I noted the auto ones - 14.5 - 15.5 kg-m.

/edit/ no, thems the M/T ones, the A/T ones are 9.5 - 10.5 kg-m

This is what I used to torque my rb20's head down after I had it off...

Head is torqued down in 5 stages.

1. 22ftlbs

2. 72ftlbs

3. slacken off

4. 22ftlbs

5. 75ftlbs or 90o

Engine torque setting

Main bearing torque 40ft/lbs

Big end bearings..... also 40ft/lbs

Hope it helps,
