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

[~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 , 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

[Jonathon]

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.
