I have never seen a code specifically identifying a blown head gasket. I checked the service manual and the procedure is the same.

4. Tighten cylinder head bolts (1) to (10) in numerical order as shown in 5 steps. Cylinder head bolts Step 1: 29.4 Nm (3.0 kg-m, 22 ft. lbs.) Step 2: 58,8 Nm (6.0 kg-m, 43 ft. lbs.) Step 3: 0 Nm (0 kg-m, 0 ft. lbs.) (loosen) Step 4: 27.4 - 31.4 Nm (2.8 - 3.2 kg-m, 21 - 23 ft. lbs.) Step 5: 50° - 55° (target: 50°) clockwise

How do you Replace Head Gasket for 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE ?

Big difference between valve cover gasket and head gasket. To replace head gasket, you must dissamble top end of engine and send the head out to be resurfaced and then install new head gasket. If it is a leaking valve cover it is much easier. Simply dissasemble and then clean valve cover and top of head from all debris and remove all old gasket material. Tighten back down in sequence and do not over tighten. these small bolts can be overtightened easily so go in sequence just like when you tighten lug nuts by skipping one as you go around. 10mm bolts require about 10 pounds or less torque.

Need 1990 nissan sentra torque settings and valve clearence

heinrichkemp: The engine in your car is a GA16i
I venture you are asking about the head bolts when you refer to torque settings. The head bolts used on this motor are torque to yield (streach bolts) If you are reusing them, you need to check them to insure they are not stretched beyond limits.
The way you measure the bolt is with a micrometer.
Measuring close to the end where the bolt starts to thread in, about 10-12 threads up, take a reading. Now, go to the other end of the bolt where the threads end and measure about 10 threads in.
There should not be more than a .009 inch difference (.228mm). If there is, discard the bold and get a new one.

You must use a sequence to tighten the bolts, below is the sequence.
11
13 9 3 1 6 8

14 7 5 2 4 10
12 15

torque 11,12,13,14 & 15 to 8.3 Nm (6.1 ft lbs)
Torque the main head bolts by the numbered sequence to
29Nm (22 ft lbs) first pull
64Nm (47 ft lbs) second pull
Loosten all the bolts completely
Tighten the to 29Nm (22 ft lbs) first pull
Tighten bolt # 1 clockwise 85 degrees
Tighten bolts #2- 10 65 degrees
Nissan noted that if you do not have a torque angel meter, you can use a regular torque wrench and torque all the bolts to 69Nm (51 ft lbs)
The valves on this engine have hydraulic lifters, consequently require no adjustment.
