Cylinder head bolt tightening sequence (16v)

[Dec 1]

I've been looking through the Haynes manual and I cant find the tightening sequence for the head bolts on a 1.8L 16v.

 

Anyone have a link to a diagram? :wink:

Oh, and (3) means 180 degrees in one or two movements.

if you buy a box of headbolts they often specify the torque/tightening method on them, e.g. stage 1 stage 2 then 180 degrees.

That torque settings list is incomplete is it not?

 

As far as I know the correct sequence is:

Stage 1: 40Nm

Stage 2: 60Nm

Stage 3: 90deg

Stage 4: 90deg

just added a note to my original reply (3) means 180 degrees.
