Re: hi what is the head torque on a 2002 honda civic
Dont forget to apply clean engine oil to the threads of each bolt for proper torquing. Then finger tighten. Then
- Tighten the cylinder head bolts to their final torque specification in 4 steps. Use a crisscross sequence starting with the bolts at the middle of the head and working toward the outer bolts as follows: Step 1: Tighten each bolt to 14 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).Step 2: Tighten each bolt to 36 ft. lbs. (49 Nm).Step 3: Tighten each bolt to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).Step 4: Retighten only the 2 center bolts to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).
- Step 1: Tighten each bolt to 14 ft. lbs. (20 Nm).
- Step 2: Tighten each bolt to 36 ft. lbs. (49 Nm).
- Step 3: Tighten each bolt to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).
- Step 4: Retighten only the 2 center bolts to 49 ft. lbs. (67 Nm).
