Also, when replacing it, according to the workshop manual the front two long bolts are 13nm with no threadlock, the remaining bolts are 10 nm with threadlock. If you dont have a torque wrench, find one!, as 10nm is sweet f.a. and its easy to strip alloy head threads.

MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 14y 2d Gender: Male Posted 21/09/12 05:55 AM Share Posted 21/09/12 05:55 AM Done dozens of these, I normally give it a gentle lever with a plastic pry bar after removing cam phaser seals and the throttle body etc etc It is a rubber gasket thoughDoing it back up it's as simple as tightening bolts in a clockwise rectangular pattern from inside bolts to outside bolts twice over. Normaly just nip up with 3/8th drive ratchet. Torque wrench really isn't necasarry in my opinion.A dob of sealant where the timin cover meets the block doesn't really hurt either.

Especially into ally. Kinchrome 1/4 torque wrenches can be had for $60 cheap cheap compared to strip threads @ 10nm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
