[Clark18]

I searched but could not find the answers. I need to know the torque specs for my MP3 head bolts, rod bolts, and main bearing bolts. Please help me--thanks.

The head studs are tricky. First tighten them to 16 ft-lbs. Then turn each stud 90 more degrees. Then turn them all another 90 degrees. Here is the pattern:


Intake
______________
9 - 5 - 1 - 4 - 8
10 - 6 - 2 - 3 - 7
______________
Exhaust

I'll have the other specs as soon as my new manual gets here. Hopefully in the next few days.

Thanks a lot xelderx, that is a huge help. Does anyone know the other torque specs I asked about?

There is one main workshop manual and then 2 smaller supplemental manuals that cover the motor and tranny, respectively. The dealership needs to look in their copy of the supplemental for the motor. I believe the part # for the supplemental is listed on the first page or so of the regular, thick manual.

I went and looked through every manual that my dealer had. They don't have the two supplemental manuals covering the tranny or the engine internals. I called several other dealers and they don't have them either. I need the specs for the main bearing caps, rod studs, and the 2 nuts for the gear shafts in the tranny by Wednesday. I ordered the two manuals that I need, but they won't be here in time. Please help!!!! If you happen to go by your dealers or call them...please ask them if they have the specs.

Thanks for all of your help. I may have found the info I needed, and I will post if/when I get it.

I got the torque specs yesterday for most of the motor. I'm going to start a thread that lists all the major torque specs for the car as soon as I get a chance to get all my notes together. I'm at work right now and I don't have my sheet with me or I would go ahead and post up an abridged version.
