toybuilder Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Last night I installed the cylinder heads. Factory torque spec is 47 ft/lbs for the head bolts and the FSM says that you must retorque the bolts after the first warm up of the engine. I torque my head bolts to 51 ft/lbs once and never worry about it again. Read Part 1 Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallywagon Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 That long block looks great. I notice the dual port heads...from a turbo? Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 haynes book says something like 23, 43, and 47, give or take a few numbers, but i have always done 25, 40, and 50, using a bar type torque wrench, and has been reliable, no re-torque. i ahve always used the victor reinz head gaskets from napa, with the graphite face, and the hugher end gaskets have a bead of silicone around the water passages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 This man has his ducks in a row, no Duckams Adnoids but the real stuff-- Castorl GTX. Congrats Toybuilder. you do do some fine work.

toybuilder Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 Miles, I do torque the bolts in three stages. I just meant that I don't do the retorque thing. I used Genuine Subaru turbo head gaskets. I am still not sure what viscosity oil to run, this is my first Subaru turbo engine. Any recommendations, Skip? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toybuilder Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 Haven't made any progress lately because I had "some issues" with one of my lifters and had to order a new one. I dropped it and the cap popped off of the top. I used a center punch to restake the cap, but I don't trust it. Since everything else is done right so far..... $41.21 + shipping from http://www.1stsubaruparts.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
