reassembly need torque #'s
reassembly need torque #'s
Hi new to forum I'am going to put my 83 2.0 motor back together this week, but I misplaced my shop manual. What are the torque #'s for the head, rods, and main bearing caps. Also I was planing to torque using a light coat of clean engine oil is this correct?
