  • Tightening torques for thp engine

    Hi All, I hope that someone can assist me here.

    I am in the process of fitting pistons into a racing.

    Can anyone tell me the torque settings for the head bolts and the con rod please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Think it is about time to throw out 20 pounds for a workshop manual. http://www.emanualonline.com/Cars/Citroen/DS3.htm

    head bolts; pre-tighten 3 daNm, Angular pre-tighten 90 deg, angular tighten to 90 deg.
    peripheral bolts for cylinder head(2 by timing chain) pre-tighten 1.5 daNM then same angular as head bolts
    the 1 bolt pre-tighten 2.5daNm then angular tighten 30deg
    Follow proper sequence in tightening use new bolts.


    Caps, pre tighten 0.5 daNm, pre tighten 1.5 daNm, Angular tighten 130deg +-5deg
