Torque specifications for head bolts 1995 Jetta 2.0

I have the car with no manual. We are replacing a head gasket and want to know the bolt torque. I have someone coming who needs the information. We are replacing the water pump, timing belt, plugs, oil, cam seal. Is ther other specs I need ?

Respectfully, Ron Sansing

First pass, torque them to 30 Ft Lbs working from the center outward. Then go back again and torque them to 75 Ft Lbs.

You should really go to an auto parts place and buy a manual. This something you really should not cut corners. It will give you the specs and the sequence of how to torque the head. You will also need to know how to set the timing in relation to the cam and crank. Manual is well worth the money. It has pictures, instructions, and such.

Good Luck

Torque setting Head Gasket Corolla 1997

The torque specification for the head bolts on a 1997 Toyota Corolla is usually between 26 and 30 foot-pounds. It's important to note that the torque specification can vary depending on the specific engine and head bolt type, so it's always best to consult a service manual or other reliable source for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

It's also important to follow the proper tightening sequence when installing the head gasket. The tightening sequence is usually specified in the service manual and is designed to ensure that the head bolts are tightened evenly and to the proper torque specification.

I recommend using a torque wrench to ensure that the bolts are tightened to the proper torque specification. It's also important to use a torque angle gauge to ensure that the bolts are tightened to the proper angle.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Replacing the cylinder head on a 2005 Hyundai Accent 1.6 dual overhead cam, need to know the Tourque Specifications for the cylinder head and intake manifold. thanks

Here's what the shop manual states:

30 Nm (300 kg.cm, 22 lb.ft)+90°+Release all bolts + 30 Nm(300kg.cm, 22 lb.ft)+90° In this instance you don't have a 'Torque to Spec"... you have a "torque to YIELD' In this specification, initially torque the head bolts to 22 lb ft... then turn each and additional 90°, then loosen each and REDO to the same specification = 22 lb.ft)+90° (you're actually crushing the head gasket TWICE and stretching the head bolts TWICE.

Replacing the intake manifold gaskets and head gaskets could you tell me the torque for both of these

Before accepting any advice on the torque specifications for the bolts, you should refer to the Haynes manual that specifically relates to your vehicle. The reason reason why knowing the torque specs. for these various bolts is not good enough is that each bolt will need to be tightened in a certain order/sequence. The Haynes manual provide you this information and a lot more! These manuals will run you about $10-$15 and they can be purchased at most auto parts stores (i.e. Auto Zone, Pep Boys, etc.). Good Luck!

Please remember to rate this solution. Thanks!

Replace head gasket on 1995 Jetta Diesel.

Not enough room here and not enough continuity here to step you through this; however:

1. You must obtain a motor service manual from an auto supply store, like AutoZone. The manual is not the general manual, it is a specific motor manual for all VW's. ($30). You can also copy the pages you need at the local Public Library (you have a card, right?) ($2)
2. You will need to purchase a gasket kit (calso called a "gasket set") for your specific motor. ($30)
3. Before you purchase any parts or books, check to see if the auto supply store will "lend" (free) or rent you a torque wrench. You will have to torque the bolts whenever you put the head back on to the engine block. Try not to buy one, you will hardly ever use it.
4. Additionally, it would be a good idea to get a "valve job" ($60) done whenever you remove the head from the engine. The auto supply store may have a "machine shop". Generally, you want to have this done at an auto supply store and not a "auto garage"($150). [save $90].
5. Note that once you finish, the car may run a bit "tight" and overheat a little. It will also put "stress" on your cylinder heads because the valves wil "seat" better than before.

Most important to obtain a motor book. These instructions are obviously not step-by-step.


Please comment ...
1. This is a pretty drastic step
2. Why do you want to do this?

Comments by anyone??????

1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera SL 2.2 head bolts torque and sequence

you have long bolts and short bolts, long bolts go in positions 1,4,5,8,9 - short bolts remaining positions, all long bolts go in back of engine, toward fire wall or front of dash, those are positions starting at passenger side to drivers side, 8,4,1,5,9, so 1 is in the center position, 9 on drivers side. short bolts in front, positions passenger side 7, 3, 2, 6,10, stud is in position 10. Tighten bolts in sequence, starting at 1, long bolts get 32Nm, short bolts get 29Nm, next pass torque all to 58NM, than final pass add an angle of 100 degrees, little more than 1/4 turn with wrench. Bolts should have 11.9 on head, the tightening specification is called a torque plus angle to yield, that is why in your gasket kit is tells you to replace the bolts, it is recommended. I know, because I am the GM Manager for fastening engineering. Hope this helps
