Subaru e81 headbolt torque settings

I suggest you have a professional listen to the noise. It is kind of hard to diagnose engine noise from this keyboard. I would suspect you did something wrong when you reassembled the engine.

i need torque settings asap please

10w40 is a good oil to use in this 1986 brat.

Open hood Just in back of your radiator fan cools your engine

could be a vaccum leake

Ebay is the best option, but you will have to keep searching or set up your account to receive emails when a brat item is listed. I am currently restoring an 85 brat as we speak.

What happens is the head gaskets shrink causing the headbolts to loose torgue, and the headbolts are of one time use, whenever you do a headgasket job you will need to replace all the headbolts with new ones. and when ever you remove a cylinder head on any engine you should always chase the bolt holes with the proper tap, then blow out the holes with compressed air, this will help to insure a more accurate torque setting on the new headbolts...

Hope this helps, from autozone site. Curt
Application:
Cylinder head bolt torque sequence

Note :
Torque sequence:
---------
front | 3 1 6 |
of | |
vehicle | 5 2 4 |
---------
Step 1: Lightly oil cylinder bolt threads & washers
Step 2: Torque to 22 Ft/Lbs
Step 3: Torque to 51 Ft/Lbs
Step 4: Loosen all bolts 180 degrees
Step 5: Loosen all bolts 180 degrees
Step 6: Torque bolts 1 & 2 to 25 Ft/Lbs
Step 7: Torque bolts 3, 4, 5, 6 to 11 Ft/Lbs
Step 8: Turn all bolts an additional 80 to 90 degrees
Step 9: Turn all bolts an additional 80 to 90 degrees
*** CAUTION ***
engine uses Torque To Yield head bolts (TTY) that
permanently stretch during the initial installation.
New head bolts must be used when cylinder head is
replaced or re-installed to obtain proper Torque.

I have changed a head gasket on a saturn 1.9 L engine, no special tools are required. Take your time and be patient. do not over tighten the headbolts and do not forget to torque them to the correct specs. after about a week of driving check everything you tightened to uinsure they remained tight. all should be well when the project is complete. Oh one more thing. a mechanic dropped a socket into a friends engine and blew the motor. be very careful that all of your tools are acounted for before starting the engine

There should be 10 headbolts. This vehicle uses torque to yield headbolts and should be replaced with the new gasket. Bolts 1-8 get torqued to 40 ft lbs initially, bolts 9 and 10 get torqued to 30 ft lbs initially, Then all bolts get turned an additional 90 degrees. I would strongly suggest borrowing a torque angle gauge for doing this or you might be doing the same repair next week.
