Head bolt torque settings for D15b4

[Jonathon]

hey i am doing a rebuild on my civic and i need to know the torque setting for the head bolts can anyone help :D

[~Sp33~]

68NM / 49lb/ft / 6.8kg-m

Make sure you torque them in the correct sequence and do a few passes before you get to 68NM to prevent the head from warping.

hey steven can you give us reputation :)
it is steven right
hey do you know the timing as well
i post some pics too

[~Sp33~]

Yup, it's Steve.

Do you need to know about the ignition or cam timing? make sure the cam marks line up with the top of the head, with the arrow facing upward, also make sure the crank lines up with the mark on the block (you'll see it once you remove the pulley if you're replacing the front engine seal)

You can always hit me up on MSN :wave:, and what did you want me to rep?

[Jonathon]

i just don't want to be a newcomer cuz i know a bit lol so need rep i have gave advice on other post :p
this is where i am up too atm can't get the middle bolt off the intake manfold got to get a tool i talk on msn ok

[Jonathon]

got that middle bolt off the intake manfold but still can't get the head off and i got the cams off too do you know what this bolt is see pic

[~Sp33~]

The only thing that attached the head to the block are the head studs. More than likely, the old head gasket is keeping them together. Be careful if you try and pry them apart that you don't mess up the mating surfaces, they dent real easy being alloy.

[~Sp33~]

Oh, also - You don't need to remove those 'bolt things'. Someone feel free to chime in if I'm wrong in saying this, but i was told they're used when casting the head. There's also ones on the block as well.

You didn't post something helpful so you can't get a PQ / rep point.

sorry wynode OK something helpful to all the ozhonda people
1. make sure if your are working on your car to put all parts and bolts in to categories
2. I got the intake manifold middle bolt off from under the car and had to remove the oil filter
3. if like me you do not have a oil filter taking off tool and you are replacing it then to remove it all you need is a screw driver and something to knock it in and make a hole and turn a bit and make another and repeat i maked 3 holes to get it off
