AAZ cylinder head torque settings
Posted: 21 Aug 2011, 10:52
Hellooo,
Got the head skimmed after a cambelt disaster about 6 months ago and I've now noticed a coolant leak from the head gasket after the flashing red light came warning of low coolant levels. I've tried Baxter's bleeding method but when the engine warms up it won't let me open the header cap without squirting up even though there's quite an air gap in the header tank, hoping it's not a bad sign being pressurised too much from a dodgy head gasket. Anyway - I'm looking at tightening the cylinder head nuts - I'm not convinced they were done right in the first place...anyone know what the torque settings are or have any views on the next step should that fail?
Supposed to be going on holiday to Wales tomorrow.....
Thanks
