Hi,
I have a 1.4 carb engine, im putting the head on, on the weekend, the only problem i have is i don't have and haven't got access to a torque wrench. Is there a method you can use to tighten up the head bolts, to make sure you have the correct tension. Am i right in saying that when tightening them up, you have to tighten them from the ouside in like so.
1 7 9 6 4
3 5 10 8 2
Also you have to get them to a correct tension 25nm then do three 60degree turns in the pattern above, then it's done?.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Nath
