I'll happily look up whatever settings you need as you do your headgasket if you solemnly promise me you'll save your sheckles and get a Bentley. BTW you'll also need the correct tightening sequence... which is also the correct loosening sequence... you need to slowly remove the old head as well so that it doesn't warp.

Loosen the bolts in the above sequence, 1/4 or 1/2 turn at a time.

The new gasket goes on dry. The tightening sequence is:

1) 40 Nm
2) 60 Nm
3) additional 1/4 turn
4) additional 1/4 turn
5) run the engine up to operating temp then an additional 1/4 turn
6) for ME and MF engines, an additional 1/4 turn after about 1600 km


Friends don't let friends buy Haynes or Chiltons :wink:
