* Multiple Engine Options: The 1995 Cavalier came with a few different engine options (1.6L, 2.2L, 2.3L). Each engine would have different head bolt torque specifications.
* Varying Specs: Even within the same engine, there might be slight variations in torque specs depending on the head gasket and other factors.
* Safety Concerns: Providing an incorrect torque spec could lead to serious damage to your engine, potentially causing head gasket failure, warped head, or other issues.
How to Find the Correct Torque Spec:
1. Consult your owner's manual: The most reliable source for this information is your vehicle's owner's manual.
2. Check a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 1995 Cavalier engine will have the correct torque specs.
3. Contact a qualified mechanic or dealership: A professional mechanic or your local Chevy dealership can provide you with the correct torque specs for your specific engine.
Important Note: Always use a torque wrench when tightening head bolts. Never guess or rely on "feel" as this could lead to serious damage.
