head bolts

[Banjo]

Could someone please give me the torque settings,  for head bolts and rocker shaft bolts on a 200 tdi.

Ok the figures I have are

Cylnder head
40 NM 
then
tighten 60 degrees
then
Tighten 60 degrees again

If you are unsure of the 60 degrees, just remember that it is equivalent of one of the flats on a standard six sided bolt

Do you have the Tightening sequence?



Rocker shaft Bolts
4-5 Nm

Cheers hobbit, it started making a tapping/ticking noise now you can feel it blowing at the back of the head, just hope heads ok.

Head gasket changes must be addictive at the moment. Mine went last Wednesday, no fuss or hassle. I was only doing 40/45 and it suddenly went on to three  cylinders . The head gasket was gone near  No 4 cylinder. As it didn't get warm or loose any coolant I am praying the engine has survived. I should have gone to Scotland next weekend in the truck but  it looks like we will be taking the car instead. I dare not risk a long run untill I am shure the problems are solved. Don't forget the oil drain from the turbo, the manifold wont come off until it is disconnected

Well i got away with just a gasket, it was blowing past the fire ring on number 4. When the head came off,  some of the waterways were almost blocked with red/orange gunge, first thought it was K seal  :( but then realized someone had fitted a new water pump and used loads of what looks like red hermetite.It was not the cause of the problem but may have caused problems later.  Just hope the same muppet didn't do the cambelt.

Head is back on now, the oil pipes on the turbo gave me a bit of aggro .After getting wet several times and being up at half four this morning I give up for now. I need to get new leak off and turbo feed copper washers from work tomorrow so hopefully we should have it running by tomorrow nite.  :roll:

 :clap:Its running now and sounds OK so far. Down pipe fell off at top of drive so we will road test it tomorrow maybe. The worst bit was the turbo pipes and the dipstick tube. Don't try and fit the dipstick tube after the exhaust manifold , I have the marks to prove it don't work that way. :oops:
