Club 80-90 Forums

Hi all.

I've been giving the van engine a rebuild over the weekend and have looked everywhere for tightening torques/sequences with no luck. If anyone knows the following i'd be extremely grateful!

All JX TD;

Big end bearing cap nuts

Main bearing cap bolts

Head bolts (no instructions on the box!)

Cheers,

Jon.

P.S, i did find information on the wiki under "Diesel Engines", but i'm not sure if this is JX specific

Hi Jon,I did a complete engine overhaul 3 years ago,I'll look up my notes and info.on my "jx" the big end bolts are single use stretch ones!!.
Any way I'll get back to you,good luck.

Cheers Dave
