Head bolts. Torque Sequence per SB 02-06-01-003B Issued April 2008 5 O 3 O 2 O 8 O 7 O 1 O 4 O 6 O Start at 44 lb. ft. Then 95 degrees additional. Follow the numbers from 1-8 Intake replacement: Service Bulletin 03-06-01-010C Issued April 2008 dO bO aO cO cO aO bO dO a/b get initial torque of 62 lb. in. then c/d get initial torque of 62 lb. in. NEXT a/b get final torque of 115 lb. in. then c/d get final torque of 18 lb. ft. May develop an oil leak if you don't torque the verticals first. Recommended that intake bolts be replaced as well. -- Steve W.

These are torque to yield bolts, they do not need re-torquing nor will re-torquing them accomplish anything. To re-torque, you'd need to back each bolt off and then re-torque it. As soon as you back the head bolt off it is time to discard it. This could go on forever taken literally. Furthermore, the Fel-Pro head gaskets in that set are "PermaTorque" they do not require re-torquing regardless of the type of head bolt used.

Steve said that this is the right sequence: Head bolts. Torque Sequence per SB 02-06-01-003B Issued April 2008 5 O 3 O 2 O 8 O 7 O 1 O 4 O 6 O Am I not looking at a v8 not a v6 3.1L ? |
