Hi all
Can anyone help with the Torque settings needed during headgasket change ... ie : cams / covers / manifolds etc, also i assume they are "stretch" bolts if so what angles ?
Thanks in advance .... Adrian
PS. a little pic for you :)

welcome mate :y
what makes you think the head gaskets are gone?
don't know about the torque settings for head bolts but if you have a flick through the maintenance section i'm sure you'll find all you need to know in there.

Lots of torque settings here ...any mising ones yell out and I'll look in the Haynes book, assuming a 2.5 V6 here of course .... :)

I guess that would be because they are laying on my garage floor ! ;D ;D but really ... started by changing the HBV / oil cooler & plate but still leaked , after pressure testing could see a "Squirt" from the rear of the n/s head just below ignition module plate, Both heads were then removed (lovely job [smiley=lolk.gif]) i have to admit though i was quite suprised by the amount of "rot" in the gaskets

According to Mr Haynes ... 2.5 & 3.0 are the same ....
Cylinder Head Bolts
Stage 1 25 Nm
Stage 2 Angle tighten a further 90 degrees
Stage 3 Angle tighten a further 90 degrees
Stage 4 Angle tighten a further 90 degrees
Stage 5 Angle tighten a further 15 degrees
HTH :)

VERY IMPORTANT
While they are off check the exhaust gaskets well as this is your best chance to replace them

Yes, as a matter of course fit new multilayer metal exhaust gaskets!
