I have seen a couple of VERY different torquing sequences for the 1.8 L 1985 Subaru Wagon EA-82 cylinder heads reported on the net. The one for the "1781cc SOHC, 1.8 L" engine
Another sequence for the "1820cc SOHC, 1.8 L" engine
This second proceedure seems like a "stretch-to-yield" prescription that would make the head bolts one-time use throwaways.
Any suggestions on how to determine the 'correct' torqueing proceedure for my engine (how do I determine if it is a '1785cc' or a '1829cc')? The engine is a 1985 EA-82, serial # 637774, carbureted, with external hex head cap cylinder head bolts installed in a Subaru FWD Wagon. The Head gasket being installed is a Victor Reinz.
Also, the torqueing pattern and need to retorque after run-in are ambiguiously addressed in my Chilton's, so any guidance here would also be welcomed.
