Default Re: head bolt pressure

Welcome to the Barn. Please tell us a little about your car and where you live.

The recommended torque for the head nuts is 55 foot-pounds. Bring the torque up in 10 foot-pound steps from 25 foot pounds. Start the engine and let it run for 15 minutes. Let the car cool down and re torque. Then run 100 miles and re torque once the car cools down. Re torque after 500 miles. Always torque on a cold engine.

Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
