Cruise headgasket torque settings

[wee-jo]

I bought a cruise headgasket recently but I can't remember if it was a 1.2 or 1.4mm one but I was wondering what torque settings should be applied? Got arp headbolts to torque down, do these require different torque levels for different headgaskets?

Any info appreciated.

same as stock

unless ur using arp bolts which iirc is 60lb/ft done in 3 equal increments

Yeah mate using arp headbolts, so thats it? Nothing else no?

as sx_turbo said. arp headbolts are 60lb/ft done up in three equal steps.

might sound dumb but is that 3 x 20lb/ft lol

 

[billybob]

yes lad you hit the nail on the head 3 x 20lbs

Tighten them all up to to 20ft/lbs, then all up to 40 ft/lbs then up to 60ft/lbs. I always go over them all again in the right order at 60 ft/lbs to make sure the torque wrench clicks straight away before the bolts turn.

And make sure you use the ARP washers and put them on the right way round.
