• how much are you supposed to torque down the main bearing bolts on a 1.6 TD also does anyone know what the torque settings for the head bolts are?

• Main bolts are 48 ft lbs
  
  Head bolts (cold) are, 44 ft lbs + 1/2 turn, re-torque when warm another 1/4 turn.

  No no no. Give a man a fish, he eats for a meal. Teach a man to fish, and you'll never see him again.

  Give a man a fish, he eats for a meal. Teach a man to fish, he gets himself a boat and some beer and spends all his time on a lake.
  
  
  
  Thanks for the torque specs, for my cheekiness.
