⚡ Tightening Torques & Specifications
| Component | Specified Torque | Assembly Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Flywheel mounting bolts | 60 N·m + 30° | Angle stage cited at 13:17. Author reports using bolts from different application/grade; cited value does not validate substitution. |
| Clutch pressure plate bolts | 15 N·m | Torqued in cross pattern after disc centering. Unit inferred from context; verify in service manual. |
| Cylinder head bolts | 25 N·m + 90° + 90° + 90° + 15° | Sequence reported after torquing, using new bolts starting from center. Verify sequence and initial torque in manual. |
| Camshaft pulley bolt | 45 N·m | Section covers camshaft pulley and counter-holding hex, not exhaust manifold. At 36:42 author points to pulley. |
