Fit the cylinder head with a new gasket Refit new cylinder head bolts Pretighten to torque and in order the cylinder head bolts (initial torque) (20 n.m), I am looking for the head bolt torque settings for the renault clio 4 900cc 3 cylinder I blew the head gasket and have fitted a new gasket but am battling to find the correct torque settings. Start by tightening bolts in the recommended order to avoid warping
Use a calibrated torque wrench and apply specified torque values in stages, typically starting with a low setting and increasing to final torque. 80nm, correct sequence with the 12.9 tensile bolts No need to cold retorque, etc. I have a renault kangoo 1.2l petrol 16v kar with engine fuming a bit of oil from the backside around the rocker cover I want to tighten the bolts first to see if this stops the fuming. So, i would recommend retorqueing the head for your peace of mind and adjusting the valve clearances afterwards
When tightening renault clio cylinder head bolts, use a calibrated torque wrench Typically, initial torque is applied in stages (e.g., 30 nm, then 60 nm), followed by an angle tightening step.
