We did this out of the car with 3 of us, One torquing the head, I was holding the block, countering the torque and had one guy reading the angle reader. Not a fun job ________________________________________ Onward to the Edge! |

We did this out of the car with 3 of us, One torquing the head, I was holding the block, countering the torque and had one guy reading the angle reader. Not a fun job Buy a Tech Angle torque wrench from Snap-on, gives an audible beep as you approach the desired torque/angle then vibrates and beeps when you get there. Takes a bit of getting used to as you can over/undertighten stuff if you go too quick as it does'nt click off like a conventional one, but dead handy for angle torquing, the only slightg hitch is the cost... ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I used the Haynes method on my 205 gti with the final stage being the angle tighten, ended up stripping a thread in the block!  From then on I use the the Puma Racing method, works a treat with not as much force needed. I find it much more progressive. Can't remember the values etc but maybe he did a gti6 engine unless they are the same, can't check at present. ________________________________________ 306 GTI-6205 GTI-6 Project 205 1.6 GTI - RIP 205 1.9 TT - RIP E39 535i - Daily driver *Newest edition* E60 M5 5l v10 - The weekend car  |
