subarurx Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 hey anyone know much about re-tighting the head after you have put on new head gaskets, I am told it needs to be done 3 times (this is a for a subie running 14psi, and being used for rally's) any help would be appreciated. cheers simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 There is both a sequence of bolts to do, and 3 levels of torque also. First is like 25 ft lbs I think? second is like 42 and 3rd is like 47... I just did some heads afew days ago, but I dont remember the EXACT numbers off the top of my head. anyone out there have the printout of the head bolt tightening sequence???
