Head bolts

[Bakermgzs]

Does any one no what the torque setting are for the head bolt for v6 iv been told very important to do then to the right torque

•Tighten cylinder head bolts progressively in the sequence illustrated to: XXXXX XXXXX25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Stage 2-25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Stage 3-25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Stage 4-Using an angle torque gauge, tighten bolts in the same sequence to 180°.


I checked two more databases and the procedure/specification is the same so working from experience if you increase the torque by 18 ftlbs each stage you are at 54 ftlbs before you turn the final 180 degrees.



Sorry I did not include the intake manifold in the first post

I have just been told from rover centre the head bolts torque settings are

And torque again at 90 degrees
