These manuals will provide detailed torque specifications for:
* Cylinder heads: These bolts require very specific tightening sequences and torque values, often in stages. Getting this wrong can severely damage the engine.
* Connecting rods: Another critical area requiring precise torque.
* Main bearings: Similar to connecting rods, these need exact torque values.
* Intake manifold: The torque will vary depending on the manifold design.
* Exhaust manifold: Similar to the intake manifold.
* Valve cover: These are usually much lower torque.
Using the wrong torque can cause serious engine damage, leading to expensive repairs or even engine failure. Don't attempt any engine work without the proper repair manual for your specific vehicle. A factory service manual is the best option; you can often find these online or at auto parts stores.
