Rocker Cover Torque Settings

[kermit]

HI

Does anyone know what he torque settings are for the rocker cover and also if they have to be tightened in a specific order?

Thanks

Kermit

I can't help with specifics, but it's only a cover so torque isn't critical. If you can't find a torque figure, just do it by feel. I don't think tightening order will really matter, but I'd work from the centre outwards.

Yes I have the info somewhere, let me dig it out.

Nope, can't find it [emoji20]

Thanks for Looking Jamie. I think a call to Citroen is in order.

When you get them, pop them in here Might be useful info for someone else at a later date.

Your dealer can give them to you, I could post it up if I have your VIN as there are 9 different documents relating to different engines.

Cylinder head camshaft cover (rocker cover) M6 X 30mm tightening torque 10Nm (7.3 lb ft) tightening sequence, not specific, however if you want to be precise, work from the centre to the outside, in handed sequence, one left one right and so forth.

Thank you for sharing this information Jamie, the sequence shown, is no different to what i mentioned as starting from the centre out, left to right or right to left.

EG: 6 or 7 would in my case be 1 or 2 5 or 8 would be 3 and 4 2, 4, 9 and 10 would be 5, 6, 7, and 8 12 would be 9 1 and 11 would be 10 and 11 3 and 13 would be 12 and 13 both sequences distribute even clamping pressure without twist, however, there will always be a leak between set screws 7 and 4 pictured above, as the extreme heat from the turbo is enough to distort over time the camshaft cover, and in a few cases, where vehicles fitted with the THP engine have upgraded the turbo, and had fun on track days, to a larger unit, the larger unit produces more extreme heat, which resulted in melting the wiring for the coil packs, between set screws 7 and 4 which in turn caused catastrophic fires.
