What are the cylinder head torque settings for a peugeot 205 gti?

Answer 1

It is strongly recommended that new head bolts are used with threads LIGHTLY oiled.

use an angle gauge to measure tightening angels.

If your motor is fitted with hexagonal headed bolts-

1) tighten in correct sequence to 58Nm

2) slacken 1st bolt in sequence then immediately tighten to 20Nm then immediately through 120 degrees, proceed in this way until all bolts tightened

3)refit all of the rest of the engine components ensure that all fluid levels are correct and its safe to start motor.

start motor allow it to idle until cooling fan starts.

switch off motor allow it to cool for a minimum of two hours.

4)repeat process described in number 2) above.

That's it done.

If fitted with Torx type bolts,from early 1987

1)tighten in sequence to 60Nm

2)slacken all bolts then tighten each in sequence to 20Nm

3)further tighten in sequence each bolt through 300 degrees

job done no need for re-tightening after warm up.
