Urgent Info Required For Engine Build

[01txr]

I require urgently I6 Main Bolt Torgue and Torquing Sequence

(Desperate feel like going to start crying one day soon).

Think Im cursed to get my car back on the road after a rod let go Halloween 09.

Everything went wrong that night,

We missed some of our friends that we where to meet up with that night.

Number 6 conrod let go

We had to sit in the car for hours with windows up due to rain while waiting for Tow Truck

Got Towie from hell, driving that fast the car was moving around on tray oil not helping from hole in sump,

cutting lanes through round a bouts did not get passed once by another vehicle all the way home 120k trip.

Had bank atm withdrawl problems to pay tow, lucky for friends chipping in.

Car gets backed off tilt tray with tyres rolling trough oil all over tray

Oil tracks all over my garage floor, had to put car up on stands remove wheels

scrub wheels and floor.

my new alloy race jack would not lift lucky had a second old jack.

Went to drop friends off with sisters car and its battery was flat and key would not open doors (R31 Skyline).

That was all that night.

Since I have had to fight for any spare cash with wife as she hates the car and doesnt

want to ever let me drive it again as she is petrified of it.

The workshop I had do the machining promissed it be done for my annual leave but did not

and just kept bullsh#tting me.

Didn't get it back till 4.30pm friday last day of my leave.

Last weekend went to assemble and my compressor seized so could not blow oil galleries out.

Borrowed a friends compressor for this weekend and could not find the workshop disk

looked through whole house, wife found it today after lunch, says it was in my daughters disk holder

in her room, questionable, maybe she was hiding it.

Anyway chuck it in laptop and wella no I6 Engine assembly section.

Files go 300-00-00 then 300-00-01c which is the V8 section so think missing file/s may be either 300-00-01a or 300-00-01b.

Help need specs asap before you see a grown man cry.

Im Logan City area QLD if someone has a manual near by I can look at.

just done an EF last week. start between cyl 3/4 and go lhs/rhs then forward a cyl, backl a cyl zig zag.... I am sure mine were 19nm then 30 for retorque but someone will have moidel specific torque spec but that's how you do them... middle to ends in zig zag pattern, hope that makes some sense !

HERE, DREW A PICTURE...ITS sh*t BUT EXPLAINS IT SIMPLY !

ON THE LAST TIGHTEN , ITS THE TORQUE + 90 DEG (QUARTER TURN MORE !)

BOLTS ARE TORQUE TO YEILD SO I HOPE YOU GOT NEW BOLTS ? DONT USE OLD ONES..UNLESS VERY DESPERATE.....

as I stated in your post under workshop manual section.

Mains 85 nm starting from centre working in a circle

Head 40 nm than 90 degrees

Con rods 25 nm than 90 degrees.

thanks guys,

yes know usually start center and work out, just be good to check

what manual lists for sequence.

Doing rod bolts to stretch as argo rods with ARP 2000 bolts.

And using ARP headstuds

I know head studs are torque to yeild(TTY) but wasn't aware mains where?

can someone confirm weather they are or not.

The V8 seems to have TTY main bolts as they are 40nm then 90deg

So maybe the I6 is as well.

Also the main bolt sequence is not circular as it crosses diagonally.

Goldie you sure on Main Torque as that suggests they arnt TTY Bolts

This is my first late six Im putting together, used to building Clevo's & Windsor v8's.

So I want to build it to the book.

[GOLDIE]

main bolts are not tty going b the ford manaul and that's where I got the figures from.I have rebiult many of these and all are stanard torque bolts.

Thanks Ian.

Will be able to continue the build.

So looking forward to having the power again

But with a engine that can cope.
