AGENTKB Hi guys im going to be refitting a cylinder head and chains. I can torque all the bolts on my head if they are 30nm or above but I cant do anything below. How critical is it on say the chain guide bolts or the auxiliary belt tensioner? as the sockets I have are long and will not fit due to lack of access.cheers
vocky the chain guide bolts would shear off at 30Nm :eek: You only need to torque the cam bolts and the main chain tensioner, all the rest are either 'nipped up' (guide bolts) or extremely tight - crank sprocket bolt
vocky guide bolts are 10Nm this is the torque setting guide http://www.speedsterclub.nl/bibliotheek/technische%20documentatie/tis/Standard%20Information/Engine%20and%20Engine%20Aggregates/00031676-Torque%20Guidelines%20%28Z22SE%29.pdf
AGENTKB Thanks vocky, I think ill have to invest in a smaller length socket set and a needle torque bar for this.
