Arne,

 

A is the uppermiddle bolt. B is lowermiddle. C is upperfront and D is lower front. Eis upper rear and F is lower rear. The first four steps are in alphabetical sequence.

 

1.Tighten all bolts to 22 ft-lbs.

2. Tighten all bolts to 51 ft-lbs.

3 Back off all bolts by 180 degrees.

4.Back off all bolts by 180 degrees again.

5.Tighten bolts A and B to 25 Ft lbs.

6.Tighten bolts c,d,e and f to 11 ft-lbs.

7.Tighten all bolts by 80 to 90 degrees, alphabetically.

8. Repeat step 7.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Tom!

 

Thank you!

 

This was the "missing link". I had to change the oil pressure ring in cylinder nr 2 at 135 000 km. Strange, all the other cylinders are OK.
