Re:torque on head bolts
 

22 pounds the first round

i set mine about 60

honda says 47 ::) work it from inside out..the head bolts i mean..:P

Re:torque on head bolts
 

I torqued mine to 70. I hear it gives you an extra 15whp.

Don't forget the copper spray. ;)

please hope your bs-ing about the 15whp, but ya i know the patteren for it i just needed the specs thanks guys.

Re:torque on head bolts
 

No way. It brings the head closer to the block which raises the compression, effectively adding 15whp.











Ok, I'm just kidding. :P

DONT hold a fucken impact gun on them! :o

If these are stock go for about 65, if they are arp follow their directions. Either way go from the inside out and go in a star pattern.

whats better to use b16 head bolts or just buy arp

Re:torque on head bolts
 

Just buy a set of arp's your not supose to use head bolts twice and I think OEM head bolts are more than ARP's.


And theirs nothing wronge with using a Impact gun :P
