I need the head bolt torque spec and sequence on a 1988 plymouth 2.2l
Torque to yeild bolts need to be replaced whenever the head comes off.....Long bolts are 46 ft lbs. and the turn 90 degrees (1/4 turn) short bolts are 43 ft. lbs. and then 90
I give the wrong ones here you go.After the gasket surfaces are prepared , set the new head gasket in place and CAREFULLY place the head into position , take extreme care not to place the head on the head gasket until it is in the proper position .
With the head in place , install the head bolts . You will need to tighten the head bolts in a circular pattern starting from the center and working your way out . I recommend hand tightening all the bolts before beginning the torque sequence .
Head bolt torque:
For older style 10mm head bolts : 35 - 45 - 45 - and a 1/4 turn
For newer style 11mm head bolts : 45 - 65 - 65 - and a 1/4 turn Use the two rubber valve cover end seals and a bead of RTV silicone to reseal the valve cover .
Do Not let the silicone skin-over before setting the valve cover into place and tightening the bolts, also be sure that both mating surfaces of the valve cover are clean and oil free .
After the head is reassembled you will need to reset the base timing to specs. You will also want to double check the timing belt position . Use a variable timing light and set the timing mark on zero degrees . Save the setting on the timing light and shine it through the inspection hole in the top of the upper timing belt cover . If the belt timing is correct , you will see the oblong hole in the camshaft sprocket centered in the inspection hole .
