Torque settings 20v 4age, TRD metal headgasket.

[Grrrrrrr!]

When fitting a TRD 0.8mm metal headgasket do the standard head bolt toque settings of 22ft-lbs +90d +90d still apply?

If not what is the correct setting?

[Mr Revhead]

yes stock settings are used

[Grrrrrrr!]

Can you double check that for me please Warwick..

The spec on the following page translates (according to babelfish) to 700 +/-40kgf.cm = 50ft-lbs.

i wonder what the 90 + 90 works out to be over all?

when using stock bolts id go with the manual settings
if using ARP then the TRD settings (though i suspect they are the same)
of course youd still do it in 2-3 stages.....

90+90 will work out a hell of a lot, at least it feels like it when getting to bolt #10...probably arround 100+ Nm...
