Competition Line Retorque Sequence?

Figured I'd get a quicker response in this forum...

Anyone know the sequence for a 12v head line retorque?

(14mm/o-ringed too, if it matters).

Its the same as a 24v... . standing on passenger side of the truck you would start at the 2 center bolts & then next 2 on right..... then 2 on left... . 2 on right... . then left working your way to the end.

6 1 3

5 2 4



Just like the post says above 1 & 2 in the center and work your way outwards until you run out of bolts to torque.

well, that's the proper way to torque and to increase torque, but a line retorque implies that you are retorquing to the same torque value, so you just run in a line (hence the term line retorque)



just going down each line of studs (makes it much easier on a 12v)



I have gone in sequence on all of my retorques, but I think my next may be a line torque

Oh... . I never heard of doing it that way. Would you start in the middle row & then the outsides?

I believe he means to mark a line across the stud and nut so he can retorque and see if the head gaskit and o-rings are still compressing. I would think it wouldn't make much differance what sequence is used.

It should be retorqued to 150lbs, correct? Also, to clarify, I would like to retorque the studs to the same torque. I believe it was 150, but I'm not sure. Scheid put the head/studs on originally. What do they usually torque the 14mm's to?

 

[bgilbert]

Yes, 14mm head stud torque is 150ftlbs.

I would check with them. I know of a truck with 14 MM studs that got torqued to somewhere around 185-190 ft lbs, but it also has fire rings
