I just finished with the pisons, rings, and all bearings. Oil pan installed and now Im ready to install my head. What is the spec for the 10 main head bolts? (86' n/a)

Thanks
Christian

Thanks Mike. My goal is this friday. I want to have the engine ready to go before I go to bed tonight so it looks like i'll be up into the wee hours of the night. After class tomorrow I'll start putting it back in the car.

Great, good to hear its almost back together. Are you gonna do the belts yourself, do you have the special tool?

Mike

 

Mike, yeah the belts are easy. They look very intimidating but once you do them, you dont even think twice. I dont have the tool. I do the tensioning by hand (Deflection method). I have been doing it that way for a long time so I wouldn't recommend it to newbies.

Yea, we did them on the n/a, someone came over with the tool and he showed us the whole belt change process. It turned out to not be as complicated as I thought it was.
