Can any kind soul tell me the torque value and angular tightening figure for the cylinder head bolts on one of these ancient beasts please?

Very helpful and friendly forum.
CVH or Pinto??
Tim..
Sorry, I forgot there was a 1.8 Pinto in early Sierras...
It's a CVH.
Chris
Pinto is 30ft/lb then 55ftlb followed by 90° after 5 minutes.
CVH: Use new bolts, stage 1 : tighten to 40 - 60 NM Stage 2: slacken half a turn Stage 3 : tighten to 40 - 60 nm Stage 4: tighten 90 degrees Stage 5: Tighten 90 degrees
I would usually leave it to settle for 10 minutes or so between stages 1 and
2, and again between 3, 4 , 5 (although that is not specified, it just seems right.Mrcheerful
Thanks
Chris
