CA18DET Head Tq Specs and Tightening Pattern

[MeanGreenS13]

SO, im about ready to pop the head back on my motor to put it back in the car, and i relized that my S13 CA18DET FSM is missing pages !?!?

I have a tq specs sheet for the entire engine listing the head to be TQed to 76 ftlbs but i seem to remember hearing dee or someone mention 80lbs.

Also the BIG killer in the missing pages is that i do not have the proper tightening order for the head, I have the mains and camshaft tightening order but nothing for the head.

Can someone give me a "heads" up (no pun intended) id appreciate it, i want to get this beast breathing fire again and dont want to just go by an SR or KA tightening order.

There is a link to a complete FSM in the stickies. I know it's complete because it's a copy of the one that I have on my computer at home and I personally uploaded it.

I'm at work, so I can't DL it and tell you the specs. Sorry.

Its in section Engine Mechanical

page EM-27

i know this, my FSM was missing 27 and 28 in EM, i had to source out an FSM for a CA18DE from a pulsar from my buddy Mark in CO. Thank god he was able to fax me a page from it.

It's probably been updated since. It is an electronic copy of what I have printed out that I keep in my garage and I KNOW it's complete.

Like I said, I put it up there myself, and I know it's all there.

Yeah, the copy in the stickies is definitely complete. I used it to assemble my engine, and it was all there.

i downloaded mine the better part of 1 1/2 years ago, like i said i already got it all taken care of so im not worried

NP, just letting you know that if you re-DL it, you'll have a complete copy.
