Another project done......
Discussion
took the heads off today,not as difficult as i thought,but smashed two socket extention bars undoing the head bolts!!! they were ******* tight!
the bolts on the intake manifold were remarkably loose ! some were hardly finger tight! if i am rained off the golf course in the morning,i'll spend the morning cleaning everything up ready for assembly.
i understand the torque settings are different for the new head gaskets can you let me know the setting please,also is there a two stage tightening sequence?
cheers
