Click here to see how to torque the head bolts.

you have torque cylinder head bolts in 3 steps first torque bolts 14 ft lbs then second torque all bolts to 43 ft lbs step three torque all cylinder bolts to plus 90 degrees.

Hi,
This should help you out.


Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks

there are 2 different 1.9 engines, so for future ref, you need the 8th digit of the VIN number. use NEW bolts. torque to 22 ft lbs. then turn 90 degrees, then another 90 degrees.

1. CAUTION: Always install new cylinder head bolts. NOTE: Lubricate the cylinder head bolts with Super Premium 5W 30 SAE X0-5W 30-QSP or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-G prior to installation. Install the cylinder head assembly and tighten the cylinder head bolts in the following sequence.

1. Tighten all bolts in a single sequence to 50 Nm
2. Back the bolts off 1/2 turn.
3. Tighten the bolts in sequence shown to 50 Nm .
4. Rotate all the bolts in a single sequence an additional 180 degrees in two steps of 90 degrees each.

Spec for rod 38Nm

DO not retighten the cylinder head bolts

Tighten the cylinder head bolts in three stages in the sequence indicated

10------4-------2--------6----------8

7-------5-------1--------3----------9


STAGES 1 ------------20 Nm 14.75 lb
STAGES 2--------------40 Nm 29.51 lb
STAGES 3--------------90 degrees.

You need to buy the manual, because you also need to know the order in which to torque them.
http://www.car-stuff.com/mmparts/ford-focus/repair_manual.html
usually you start at the middle and circle outward.
But they can differ. Some cars you always need to put in new head bolts. Others are done in several stages. This is too critical to take chances on.
If you really can't afford $19 for a manual, go to the library and xerox the pages.

Torque sequence ------------------ front | 12 8 4 1 5 9 13 | of | | engine | 11 7 3 2 6 10 14 | ------------------ Final torque must be reached in 3 equal steps Step 1: torque all bolts (except bolt 11) to 110 Ft/Lbs Step 2: torque bolt 11 to 100 Ft/Lbs Recheck final torque in sequence.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Drain the cooling system.
3. Disconnect the hoses at the thermostat housing.
4. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
5. Remove the cylinder head cover.
6. Loosen the rocker arms.
7. Remove the pushrods.

The valvetrain components must be replaced in their original positions.

1. Remove the intake and exhaust manifold from the cylinder head.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wires and remove the spark plugs.
3. Disconnect the temperature sending unit wire, ignition coil and bracket assembly from the engine.
4. Remove the accessory drive belt(s).
5. Unbolt and set aside the power steering pump and bracket. Do not disconnect the hoses.
6. Remove the intake and exhaust manifold assembly.
7. If equipped with A/C, perform the following:
   1. Remove the compressor and position it aside with the lines attached.
   2. Remove the compressor bracket bolts from the cylinder head.
   3. Loosen the through bolt at the bottom of the bracket.
   
   
8. Remove the alternator.
9. Remove the cylinder head bolts, the cylinder head and gasket from the block.

Bolt No. 14 cannot be removed until the head is moved forward. Pull the bolt out as far as it will go and suspend in place by wrapping with tape.

1. Discard the gasket. Thoroughly clean the head-to-block mating surface.
2. Clean and inspect the cylinder head thoroughly. Refer to the engine reconditioning portion outlined later in this section.

To install:

1. Coat a new head gasket with suitable sealing compound and place it on the block. Most replacement gaskets will have the word TOP stamped on them.

Apply sealing compound only to the cylinder head gasket. Do not allow sealing compound to enter the cylinder bore.

Head Bolt Torque For your 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (3.4L SFI DOHC): Foot pounds (Final torque) Note: Torque sequence --------- | 6 2 3 7 | | 5 1 4 8 | --------- Step 1: torque in sequence to 33 Ft/Lbs Step 2: turn an additional 90 degrees Recheck final torque in sequence *** CAUTION ***engine uses Torque To Yield head bolts (TTY) thatpermanently stretch during the initial installation.New head bolts must be used when cylinder head isreplaced or re-installed to obtain proper torque.
