porsche Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Using 96 300tdi from a disco into 90 , going to put air box bracket on engine , I have to take out 2 outside head bolts , does anyone know the correct cold torque setting for putting them back , and should it be o.k to just take out put bracket in and re torque ? Thank you chaps , I like this forum more than the other I am on as it is getting very political !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 same torque as for fitting the cylinder head, 300tdi tighten to 40Nm then tighten a further 60 degrees then another 60 degrees, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Each point on a hex-head bolt is 60 degrees. So mark the head next to one point, then turn it one "point" round, then another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
