Torque Specs for headbolts 1.8t a4 b5 quatro aeb head

77'911

Tighten cylinder head bolts in sequential order(center out), in two stages:
1)step 1= 60Nm(44ft lb)
2)step 2= additional 1/2 turn using rigid wrench(180 degree is equivalent to two 90 degree turns)
You might consider getting a pic of the tightening sequence diagram, unless your comfortable otherwise.

...and, at the risk of stating the obvious, don't reuse the old bolts. Use new ones.

Appreciated thanks, its too early here on the west coast for me to state the obvious. That, and a lack of caffeine doesn't help any either.

Remember me? I love those Porsche calendars. Thanks.
BTW, I am back with 1.8TQAM (as I promised). The head bolt spec help because I am about to pull the head off to rebuilt (tensioner failed)

Thanks.Yes, how are you? Glad to see your back with another Audi. Yep, I love those calendars. Sorry to hear about the tensioner failure.

Just hope the piston is not badly damage so I just need to rebuilt the head only
