That makes no sense as the haynes manual says 22lbs per foot for bolts 1 through 14 then an additional 155 degrees for second pass and the front two short bolta where timing chain is 5.16 and front middle long bolt 3.66 lbs per foot then how can any of these specs work for a 2004 trailblazer 6cyl. When the book says this

The sequence can be found online @ fel-pro torque table they are now using angle meteres because these bolts are tty (torque to yield ) which means they are designed to stretch, I recommend using new head bolts, and the final ft./lbs will be 55lbs they tighten in three stages ,follow the directions in torque table, do not use air ratchet on initial tightening , I have been using anerobic sealant on headbolts as some now go into aluminum threads and water jackets. hope it helps

SOURCE: what do they mean by degrees when torqueing head

With the newer engines, you first torque to a specific torque in ft-lbs. Then, you have to use a tool called a Torque angle indicator, which you use with your torque wrench or ratchet, in order to turn the bolt a specific number of degrees after that to the final torque. This measurement is used with "stretch" bolts, which are a more precise method of torquing, and will also retain the torque during heating and cooling cycles, especially with aluminum heads and an iron block. I don't know which engine you have, but the 4.3 still uses the old method of torquing. Hope this answers your question.

Correct pressure for torque the head of mazda pickup 1998

Since you didn't say which engine you have, I've pulled torque specs for 3 different engines. Also, since I can't include a diagram showing the relative locations of the numbered head-bolt locations, it would be a good idea for you to purchase a vehicle specific repair guide that will show this info.


Take particular note about the TTY (Torque to Yield) bolts used on 2 of the 3 engines shown. It is said that new head bolts MUST BE USED when head is replaced or re-installed to obtain the proper torque.



B2500 4 Cylinder

Torque sequence: --------- ' 10 6 2 4 8 ' front ' ' ' 7 3 1 5 9 ' -----------Step 1: torque in sequence to 51 Ft/Lbs Step 2: torque again in sequence to 51 Ft/Lbs Step 3: final tighten all bolts an additional 90 to 100 degrees recheck final torque in sequence *** CAUTION ***engine uses Torque To Yield head bolts (TTY) that permanently stretch during the initial installation. New head bolts must be used when cylinder head is replaced or re-installed to obtain proper torque.







B3000 3.0 6 Cylinder

Torque sequence ---------- ' 6 4 2 8 ' ' ' ' 5 1 3 7 ' ---------- Step 1: torque to 59 Ft/Lbs Step 2: loosen in sequence (1) full turn Step 3: torque to 41 Ft/Lbs Step 4: torque to 73 Ft/Lbs









B4000 4.0 6 Cylinder

Torque sequence --------- ' 5 1 3 7 ' ' ' ' 6 4 2 8 ' --------- Step 1: torque cylinder head bolts in sequence to 26 Ft/Lbs Step 2: torque cylinder head bolts to 56 Ft/Lbs Step 3: turn cylinder head bolts in sequence an additional 90-degrees recheck final torque in sequence *** CAUTION ***engine uses Torque To Yield head bolts (TTY) that permanently stretch during the initial installation. New head bolts must be used when cylinder head is replaced or re-installed to obtain proper torque.


Good luck with this job!
