Title: Metal Head Gasket Torque Figs?
Post by: duffer on April 20, 2007, 06:53:08 am

When installing the 1.9 metal head gasket

  on a 1.6 TD, do I use the same torque

  figures as for the normal head gasket?

  Or are the torque numbers/proceedure

  different?

  Any information greatly appreciated.

hi..

-normally- the procedure is: 30nm, 60nm, 2x90° -> thats all
otherwise contact the gaskets manufacturer for instrucktions, if not delivered with the gasket.

greets, Michael

Thank you for the information.

  Someone, on another forum, was

  puzzling over this. So, I thought I'd

  ask those who have done this upgrade.

  Thanks again.
