Torque sequence for cylinder heads. I have the pattern, but I know there must be a crush procedure for tightening these ?
-
Yanked the heads and yep, bent valves. Will put the replacement heads on next week.
-
Thanks. I am just waiting on my head gaskets to arrive. dealer had to order them.
-
Thanks. Heads are off and valves are bent, so we did have it timed correctly after all.
-
Thanks everyone. Heads afre identical.
-
Pulled old heads and yes valves are bent. Pistons and bores look good. Transferred old sprockets to new heads and will put back together next week. What a job getting those heads off. WOW.

Just called the guy and he sold it for $800 last night. DARN.

Charlotte NC Craigslist has a $1000 2001 Forester Acadia Green

No. Just want to make sure I am 100% when I tear into this thing again.

Can the crank be 180 out on the cams after a timing belt breaks? Just read that crank has to turn twice once for compression and once for exhaust but cams only turn once. How will I know that the timing is set right ?
-
Is this a straightforward swap ?
-
So line the mark up with the oil pump mark to set timing ? Or use the triangle aligned with the oil pump mark to find TDC on # 1 ?
-
Heads are complete except for sprocket.
-
Going to double check belt and alignment his weekend and do compression test. If no good then heads are coming off.
-
There is. I beleive it is undwer the passengers seat. Thing goes off just sitting in a prking lot. Previous owner said it went off sitting in traffic before.

DFound two nice used heads with 60k miles for $174 including freight. Just in case.
-
MY 1999 Foreseter has the factory installed security system and it just goes off. No rhyme or reason. Can be a mile from nothng and it goes off.
-
If timing is off and I do a compression test wil it not be messed up ? How do I ensure a good test ?
-
Read the words if facing the engine, correct ?
-
I lined them up on each cam and the crank. Now I am second guessing the crank. Anyone have a photo of how all three line up, especially the crank ?
-
Words were upside down facing the block, only way it was even close.
-
Cool. Foun d for $90 each with less than 60k on them.

Will 2001 SIHC heads fit a 1999 2.5 SOHC ?
-
Sorry fror leaving my locale out. Trying to set his up with kids running around. Very small budget. What should valve work cost ? Or better to buy used heads if needed ?
-
Thanks for all the info. Tried End Wrench and followed the info. Guess it is time to pull the heads.
