The head is back from the machine shop, I ground the valves while it was on the bench.
Headgasket and new headbolts are here, new cambelt kit is ready for me to collect.
Valves have been refitted with new stem oil seals. It's all looking good so far
Next question, does anyone know the torque settings for the 10x headbolts?
Also torques for the top end bolts -
Blue/1 Cam carrier 5x central bolts
Yellow/2 Cam carrier outer nuts x10
Blue/3 Cam cover, smaller bolts around the edge.
I now know I didn’t need to undo the cam carrier nuts to remove the head. It’s obvious once the head is off. Doh
It's a simple engine to work on and the forums seem decent but I'm not finding the torque settings listed anywhere.
It's helpful that the marks on the crankshaft are obvious and the camshaft & oil pump have threaded holes to lock them in position when the cambelt is off. Nice !
If anyone has links to handy websites that I've missed can you PM me. Much appreciated
