Cadillac V8, 4.9 litre. What are the valve train torque specs on the 4.9L Cadillac V8?

Cadillac is the make.
V8 is the engine configuration.
1.9 litre is the cubic capacity.

Nnone of that is 'year make model' as needed. With torque specs, the engine has an alpha numerical number and that is useful as well. Like this; Torque Specifications for. GM 4.9L-301ci-V8

Or we can guess, hope for the best and see what happens :>D

What is the toqrque spechs and order for a Northstar 4.6 engin for both head and main & rod barngs. Does the main barnings have a order

If you have to pull a cylinder head on a 1993-1999 4.0L or 4.6L Northstar V8 to replace a gasket or do a valve job, do not reuse the old 11mm head bolts. Also, GM has revised the head bolt torque values and tightening procedure as follows:
  1. In sequence, torque all bolts to 30 ft.-lbs.
  2. In sequence, rotate all bolts an additional 70 degrees.
  3. In sequence, rotate all bolts an additional 60 degrees.
  4. In sequence, rotate all bolts another 60 degrees.
  5. Torque the front three M6 head bolts to 106 in.-lbs.

What are the cylinder head torque specs for a 1999 cadillac deville 4.6l

I can help you with this but I have to ask one question. Have you already taken this apart and putting it back together? Did you rethread all the head bolt holes because they strip out when you tighten them and you will ruin the head gaskets. Let me know, I have don't this job quite a few times. I'll have to look up the actual torque specs. Also you are wanting the spec for the cylinder head bolts and not the cylinder head cover bolts right?
