mondial t 1992 cylinder head torque settings

I don't know off the top of my head but that sounds about right.

A couple of months ago I pulled the head off my Integra and replaced the head gasket. The torque specs for the head bolts were 61 ft/lbs. Keep in mind this in on a Honda engine and these things run for a LONG time. It had just under 274,000 miles on the motor before I pulled the head. So the 60NM spec + 1/4 turn sounds right. Just make sure you are tightening the bolts down in the proper pattern, starting from the inside of the head working out, alternating back and forth in a crisscross pattern.

 

Okay Peppi, I just looked it up in my book and that is the correct spec. (It's for a 348, but the Modial T has the same engine) Here is what it says in my book:

1 - Use Molikote grease on the stud thread and the sliding surface between the nut and the washer.

2 - Tighten all the nuts in order shown in Fig. 6 to a torque of 60Nm (6kgm). Ensure that adaptor AV1393 is at 90*deg to the torque wrench arm when turned.

(Just so you understand, there is an "especial tool" that fits inside the head. I looks sort of like a box end wrench that has been bent up in a L-shape. Maybe Daniel-Son can post a pic of it for you? Oh yeah, about the order of tightening down the head bolts. Since I don't have a pic of it, I'll just give you the order in which they get tightened down from Fig.6)

Fig.6

7 - 3 - 1 - 5 - 9
10 - 6 - 2 - 4 - 8

Continuing...

3 - Turn the nuts through a further 90* in the specified order. Use wrench (tool no.95970034) with adaptor AV1393 t check the angle. Because the nut is housed in the head in such a way that it cannot be turned through 90* at one go, proceed as follows to carry out the last stage.

a - Connect tool No.97950034 between AV1393 and a T wrench with a 1/2" fitting.
b - Fix the magnet at the end of the cable to a metal previously fixed to the engine block.
c - Turn the red dial to zero.
d - Tighten the nuts as much as possible and read the angle off the goniometer.
e - Remove the wrench and return to it's original position before inserting it in goniometer. Turn the dial until it has returned to the previous reading.
f - Tighten the nut and read the new angle off the goniometer.
g - Repeat the operation a few times (2 or 3) until the required 90* angle is obtained.


Hope this helps.

Happy wrenching.

LOL!

That be the one.

 

Daniel's away for the weekend, so when the cat's away......

 

Because the books are written like crap.

Actually the latter specs are for use with the tool that is listed with them.

The book says:

Alternatively:
if a S.P.S. Sensor 1 wrench, type 125FLT-B or similar, is available, this maybe used with the following parameters:


Then it goes on to list the specs you gave. So unless you have that tool I wouldn't worry about those.

I'm guessing these guys publish pop-up books?


LOL!!!!

 

I can answer, but since Dave just finished doing this job I'll let him "take the mic".

 

My 2 cents...
If you are just retightening during the course of a belt change, the specs may be different. I think some people just retorque them--there have been threads on this. There is a 328 service bulletin that says to check them by torquing to 52Ftlbs, then if one is loose to go thru the whole process. You may want to check if there is a SB for the 348?

Charmin - as in toilet paper So more like poop-up books... But anyway, I wouldn't waste paper printing these manuals out. Even the latest parts manuals have obvious errors.
