vergil Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I will be replacing the head gasket on the '16 this week and was wondering if anyone knows what torque to use. I was guessing around 50. Am I close?Thanks!Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) OK I know you didnt ask but clean the block threads, compressed air to blow it out, copper cote the threads of the bolts, copper gasket and copper gasket spray, 20lb,40lb, 60lb done., PS, if any head or block work ( removal ) has been done, rotate the crank prior to fastening down to ensure no strike between piston and head.I have also read 50 pounds but I dont think a little here and there is going to make much difference. Important thing is to use new bolts and clean out the passages before you start tightening.
