Get ALL of them finger tight or just a whisker tighter. Then criss-cross your way around the pan. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. You'll crush the gasket.
the longer (new bolts) are to torqued to 48lbs and the shorter ones are to be torqued to 45lbs then turn the bolts an additional 90 degrees the bolts need to be replaced with new one because they are streched when you torque them down
There are torque specs for every nut and bolt on that vehicle. You need to narrow it down which one you want.
headbolt torque is : 62 ft/lb cam hold down bolts is : 13 to 20 ft/lb
if your cylinder head is made out of aluminum ,i would say to re-torque the head.the bolts holding the head down get lengthened by the head expanding faster than the bolts.
Install the new spark plug and torque it down to 15-21 ft-lb (180-252 in-lb). Install the coil pack and torque the bolts down to 64-95 in-lb (5.33-7.2 ft-lb). Install the new spark plug and torque it down to 15-21 ft-lb (180-252 in-lb). Install the coil pack and torque the bolts down to 64-95 in-lb (5.33-7.2 ft-lb).
seat exhaust side bolt then torque opposite side to 9 ft/lbs
it's hard to say how much to tighten the head bolts without torqing them. I would snug them with a ratchet, and then go around the proper sequence with a torque wrench.
1998 and later--168 in lbs, for rocker arm bolts. step 2 rotate an additional 30-degrees, 3.1 engine,
The bed of a 1998 Chevy S10 is typically secured by six bolts. These bolts are located in the corners of the bed, with two on each side towards the rear and two in the front, near the cab. In addition, there may be additional fasteners, such as clips or brackets, depending on the specific configuration of the truck. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise information and torque specifications.
head bolt torque specs 3 steps first torque to 12.7 to 16.2 second 90degree turn third another 90 degree turn. head bolt pattern intake side 8 4 1 5 9.exhuastside 7 3 2 6 10.
the torque specs arent the same for all malibus....every other year is different. the 2002 Chevy malibus are:168 inch pounds-then rotate an additional 30 degrees...hope this helps. make shure the pushrods are centered and bolts are finger tight before cranking them down or else you'll bend the pushrods.
With the valve fully closed and the lifter fully at the down position, tighten the adjusting nut until there is no up and down travel in the push rod. Then tighten the adjusting nut 1/4 turn. This is only if you have hydraulic lifters. Tighten the rocker studs to 50 ft/lb of torque. These are the bolts holding the rocker assembly in place.
