Well, I am re-torquing my head bolts now and I started to re-torque them, but remembered about the pattern. So anyone wanna give mea hand? I need it asap, the valve cover is off right now. Its a 95 GST.

 

You work your way from the inside out.

 

i know that, but what is the pattern?

 

73 1 5 9
10 6 2 4 8

 

The pattern is start in the middle, the closest bolt to you is #1 (still in the middle). You go from #1, the closest bolt and middle to the bolt just above it (#2), to the lower right (#3) to upper left (#4). The middle (#1) is the referrence to the lower right and upper left.

Sorry if this is confusing to onlookers, but this should be picked up quickly by Lardo....<--that just sounds funny, lol.

 

#1 and #2...#3 and #5...#9 and #10... needs to be switched. Bah...

^ I didn't think that would work, lol...I guess I should have tried.
This is going by the book Estraw for a 95-98 2.0L turbo model.


Estraw, where did you get that from? It's close but upside down and backwards, lol.

 

ehh i knew it was something like that
