Here's why:
* Engine Type: There are several different engine options for a 1986 Toyota. You need to specify which engine your car has (e.g., 22R, 3S-FE, etc.).
* Bolt Size: The size of the head bolts can vary depending on the specific engine model.
How to Find the Correct Size:
1. Identify the Engine: Look for a metal tag on the engine block, usually near the front. It should list the engine code. If you can't find it, consult your vehicle's owner's manual.
2. Use a Workshop Manual: Once you know the engine code, a workshop manual for your specific car will provide the correct bolt sizes and socket sizes.
3. Check Online Resources: Several online resources can help you find the correct socket size for your engine. Search for "1986 Toyota [engine code] head bolt size" or "1986 Toyota [engine code] head bolt torque specs."
Important Note:
* Always use the correct size tools to avoid stripping the bolts.
* Use a torque wrench to tighten the head bolts to the manufacturer's specifications.
* If you are unsure about any part of the process, consult a qualified mechanic.
I hope this helps!
