Hi I cannot locate my haynes manuals i've got 3 of the bl*&dy things, i need to know the torque wrench settings for the head bolts and the order they need to go in removing them and replacing them..... its a 1.3 engine.


Just did an oil change on the van and the rocker cover leaked quite badly when the oil went in (huge patch now on the driveway) and the head is slightly weeping too.... so I will sort this problem out now instead of letting it get worse.

Many Thanks Inadvance!

Head bolt torque setting 55lbft, Tighen in sequence to 50% of setting then in sequence to full torque.

Run engine 15mins and allow to cool . in tightenening sequence slacken each nut individually half a turn then retorque to full torque setting

Tighten sequence

6 2 3 7
Front

Sequence for slackening head bolts is reverse order of the above tightening sequence.

Mayfair is empty I cleared that out last weekend.

Sas may have it as it was last seen when he was visiting.

He took my nans teaspoon she gave him to stir his tea with and the presented it to me when i was at home

He also took home our pair of nail clippers and presented them to me last week end

I think he maybe a magpie seems to like shiny objects like silver
