KA head torqueing question????

[DrifterBoy240]

okay i have searched and cant come up with anything and for some odd reason my computer wont load up the website that has the KA torque specs i believe its the zeroyon website. but any ways what is the torque specs/ pattern to torque my KA head on the block???

i dont know off the top of my head, but its deffenetly on here somewhere, search for timing chain stuff, a guy posted how to fix your timing chain guides and tensioners and tells you what the torque specs are of the cam cover

you arent re-using head bolts/studs are you?

[DrifterBoy240]

actually i am due to budget issues so i have to re-use the old ones.

Although using the old bolts isnt considered "safe" , i have done so with three Ka24de's. Your best bet is to download the entire FSM and search out the torque pattern from there. I know there are three steps to the process, but i dont want to quote you anything im not sure of ( as in torque specs). Im not currently at my pc right now or else i would. Search the forums for FSM and i know you will find something. Good luck with your rebuild.

I have an S14 KA24DE FSM. Check the link in my sig and post your email address and I'll send it to you.

they should be at 75 pounns , go eze on the head

Actually, Nissan never said in the FSM that it was not okay to reuse the stock head bolts, but they did tell you to inspect them to verify trueness. The torque sequence is in the FSM, but if I recall it is:(always start from center of head and work out like a coil)1)252)453)Loosen4)45, and 45 degrees, or so.

Def check the FSM before you do that though. And 75 is way too high, that is what I did on my ARPs, The stock ones probably won't take it without lube. But then again, who among us will.
