Torque about it...

The most common question ive seen on every car forum is "Whats the torque setting for...?"

Well without a Haynes manual, which has all the answers, you wouldnt know! So for all those who are to lazy to buy or read the manual, the torque settings to the Fiat Fire cylinder head bolts are:

22lb/ft or 30NM

They should be tightened in a specific order and method, numbered below. Each bolt should be tightened to 22lb/ft (30NM) in order, then all should be tightened a futher 90 degrees, in order, followeded by another 90 degrees, in order. They need to be done in order so the head doesnt twist or distort.



The cam carrier bolts should all be tightened to 20NM using a similar order to the head bolts.
