Does anybody know the torque adjustments (all 10 head bolts) -- for a 1992 Honda Civic LX ? Please help. I need this quick.

civictildeath

the sequence, the amount of torque, both?? specific engine code??

bodaciousbrian

both would be great. it's an automatic 4 spd. (49 states emission)

bodaciousbrian

actually, i think we're okay with the sequence, but the we need the amounts.

civictildeath

well i dont know personally but remember you get 5 posts per day so keep the last 2 important

When you install the cam cap cover back on be sure to torqe the 10mm bolts to 7 Ft lbs first
and then torqe the 12 mm bolts to 20 ft lbs in the following sequence be very careful not to torqe them too fast or you will snap a bolt off like i did. do it very slowly.
9 5 1 3 7

8 4 2 6 10

When you are torqing down the headbolts with Honda Head bolts you want to do this in a 3 step form
step one 21 ft lbs then back off 1/2 a turn
step two 42 ft lbs then back off 1/2 a turn
step three 63 ft lbs of torqe and your done
this must be done in the following sequence

9 5 1 3 7

8 4 2 6 10
