25Nm, then 60 degrees, then another 60 degrees, then 30 degrees.

Sure my haynes says 60, 60, 60 Maybe that's why so many of the heads shredded on them... Knew I should have asked for the hex heads irregardless of what came off the head

and a lad posted up a torque thing from cardata? last week with two more torque angles and a warming the engine period as well, it would have pulled the threads out the block....


back in the mid eighties, the extra 30 degrees wasn't in the first haynes book. I was doing gaskets almost monthly until a dealer mechanic put me right. never had one fail since

since using the 60, 60, 30? Or since it was "corrected" to 60, 60, 60... mine are done up to an extra 180 degrees in total, not sure if you misread something and we have the "extra" 30's confused or not

[philthepill_389]

yes so is it 25nm 60 60 30

or

25nm 60 60 60

thanks

i'll type slowly this time... the third angle stage of 30 degrees was not in the first haynes, or the gm manual, but it was added to make it the 25Nm, 60, 60, 30 that is now in the haynes, and works fine, so it is 150 degrees but in 3 pulls

[mowgli]

i just looked in my (light blue) haynes & the 25Nm, 60, 60, 60 is for the 1.0 litre ohv only
