Hey,

I need to know what order, and what to torque all these bolts too.

 

this is going to be hard to tell you how to do but i will do my best... it is the same torque sequence for each cam...

the cam journals are numbered 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... from the front of the head to the back...

start with cam jounal number 1... tighten the inside bolt first ( towards the middle of the head) then the outside bolt...

then cam journal number 6... tighten the inside bolt first ( towards the middle of the head) then the outside bolt...

then cam journal number 2...tighten the inside bolt first ( towards the middle of the head) then the outside bolt...

then cam journal number 5...tighten the inside bolt first ( towards the middle of the head) then the outside bolt...

then cam journal number 3...tighten the inside bolt first ( towards the middle of the head) then the outside bolt...

then cam journal number 4...tighten the inside bolt first ( towards the middle of the head) then the outside bolt...

they torque down to 6.7 to 8.7 foot lbs... thats how it is done... if it makes sense...

 

are we talking abou the same thing here? 8 lbs of torque isn't really anything... I think there's only 10 bolts... not 12?

 

those are the cylinder head bolts...use this procedure

 

no... those are the wrong ones... they're the bolts on top of the cam... they hold it in place... i'm talking about the ones that go here....

 

here's the diagram for the ka24de...i know you have the SOHC but regardless the torque is the same.

 

ohh, you're showing me the dohc motor... mines the sohc...

 

see edit...

 

alright thanks... that just didn't seem like any torque to me... I figured it would be tighter.

 

you dont need that much torque for those bolts...remember the brackets come in contact with camshaft itself, if you torque them down too much you'll risk snapping your timing chain, or worse seizing the valvetrain (sqeezing the oil out from underneath the bracket).

 

the main reason you dont want to torque em down tha tight is they are in aluminum... and they will strip rather easy... i know what im talking about when he showed the pics... he did not realise i told him the same thing you were telling him... eith way... i guess he got it done...

 

haha, yeah I got it... i'm was being stupid.
