I just bought the thing and am doing basically every maintenance item possible. Headgasket is one of those. I have an OE gasket and OE bolts. What is the correct procedure?
14 ft lbs + 90deg turn + 90 deg turn
72 ft pounds in 3 incriments
Also, do the bolts get oiled prior?
attached is the Chilton manual which indicates torquing to 65-72 ft/lbs in 3 steps but I read both answers in other places for both 1G and 2G
oh, and I also have no idea how to clean the old gasket crap off the block. I don't really want to use a putty knife to scrape it off unless someone confirms it's ok to do.
