Rb20det Head Stud Torque Pattern/order?

[Paulusc44]

Hey all,

Removing my head at the mo, I have found alot of files on the web (I do research before asking these things, just this is by FAR my most trusted forum) and although the torque specs are all the same, some of the info conflicted when it came to which order they should be installed/removed in.

Does anyone have a link to or the correct info on which order it is for both removal and installation? Would be much appreciated

Massive thanks again

Same as any L6. From the inside towards the outside. If you have found conflicting patterns but they essentially amount to the same thing, then it is hardly going to lead to a problem if you choose the "wrong" one. After all, the factory pattern was probably a random selection between the 4 or 8 possible options anyway.

Yup fully agree they could of gone with a few options, and yeah sweet center out horizontally opposed is the way the FSM I just found describes.. Ive pulled an RB25 head down before but it was a couple years ago and couldent quite remember the pattern haha..

Cheers again bro
