Off the top of yalls heads. What should the heads be torqued to?
I want to torque the right side head down before I really drive it anymore.

What motor are you working on? It varies.

Bruce, being in the CUCV section, I would assume the 6.2?

My M1009
So yes a 6.2

My book says:
First 20
second 50
then 90 more degrees

Ok sounds good. I will see the magical trick to pull the valve cover off to torque it down.
Thanks

First off just to double check. To pull the vavle cover you need to pull the injector lines. Which means you gotta get to the back of the pump. To get to the back of the pump, do you need to pull the intake??
Thanks

Yup, unless you are really small or really, really talented...

 

[bus63kombi]

Ok that is kinda what I thought.
Thanks.

The head bolts are one time usage items and did you use some sort of fat head gasket to make up for a warped deck?

My plans are to pull the heads and replace the gaskets and bolts. But for now I want to torque them down to just be for sure.
