Hello beav_kimberl,

The torque is a four stage process:

1. First pass torque all bolt in the sequence shown below to 22 ft.lbs.
2. Tighten bolts 1,4,5,8 and 9 an additional 75 degrees.
3. Tighten bolts 12 an 13 an additional 65 degrees.
4. Tighten bolts 2,3,6,7,10 and 11 an additional 55 degrees.
I hope this helps.

Cylinder head bolt torque settings for 1999 daewoo lanos 1400 is

USA car or not. some cars made else where are not the same.
yes made in 10 plants world wide, my be not the same.
first off most cars now use TTY torque to yield on head bolts
and that means not to ReUSE them ever.
the service manual shows 2 things
the order
and the TTY methods and rules for all bolts there.
1.4L engine
sounds to me the engine froze iced up , lacking antifreeze or overheated max.
my online FSM , shows 1.6L and 2.0L only in USA>
so is that it? which one/? to post a question about any engine
tell what engine is there first. or post the VIN with xxxx at the end
the engine code is there. but not told, sorry , I'd hate to guess
or post for 3 engines is a waste of time.
if I google search 1400 I get no hits, why is that, IDK> how odd
is it a typo,(major)
there is 1.4L sold in some countries, Canada, or UK or other english speaking countries.
GM/Daewoo E-TEC (Family 1)

I give up ,my book has no 1.4L at all
so can not read the engine page to you and would if I could.
in USA to fix cars it is super wise to join and pay
for Mitchell-1, DIY manuals.
and read. and not make blunders in this area.

here they are in all their glory, in ASE school we get free access.
it is that good

HOW HARD IS IT TO REPLACE A HEAD GASKET ON A 2002 4 CYLINDER GMC SONOMA?

its not hard, but you need the right tools, procedures, you need to know what you are doing. You also need to repair why the head gasket is blown. You will need the head checked out at a machine shop, it may be warped.

For 1999 GMC Sonoma 2.2 L

Since it is just one cylinder I would not suspect the head gasket or rings to be worn out. You more than likley have a bad exhaust valve.
