I need to tighten the bolts on the head what is the difference from lbs and degree. example 22lbs and add 55 degree.

1st step torque 22ft lb, 2nd step tighten an additional 155 degrees per haynes manual sequence.

22 Ft-Lbs 264 In-Lbs 29.83 N-m Connects: Cylinder Head To Cylinder Head Years: 1996- Vote Record: Vote Note: Vortec - Head Bolts - LONG - 2 Steps: 22FtLbs; +75deg

ok if this is not what u are looking for post the size of engine

the sequence can be found online @ fel-pro torque table they are now using angle meteres because these bolts are tty (torque to yield ) which means they are designed to stretch, I recommend using new head bolts, and the final ft./lbs will be 55lbs they tighten in three stages ,follow the directions in torque table, do not use air ratchet on initial tightening , I have been using anerobic sealant on headbolts as some now go into aluminum threads and water jackets. hope it helps

there are 2 different 1.9 engines, so for future ref, you need the 8th digit of the VIN number. use NEW bolts. torque to 22 ft lbs. then turn 90 degrees, then another 90 degrees.

Hello beav_kimberl,

The torque is a four stage process:

1. First pass torque all bolt in the sequence shown below to 22 ft.lbs.
2. Tighten bolts 1,4,5,8 and 9 an additional 75 degrees.
3. Tighten bolts 12 an 13 an additional 65 degrees.
4. Tighten bolts 2,3,6,7,10 and 11 an additional 55 degrees.
I hope this helps.

There is a sequence of tightening the head bolts in a specific order in 2 passes, the preferred method is to tighten all bolts to 22 ft lbs, then add 75 degrees turn to long bolts, 65 degrees to medium bolts, and 55 degrees to short bolts. If you need the picture go to a library and use alldata to print it out.

sure. 2.5 liter engine, right? Thanks for using FixYa!

Secure the head in place with the mounting bolts. Coat each bolts with clean engine oil, and hand-tighten. Tighten the cylinder head bolts to the following specifications:

1. Step 1: all bolts to 22 ft. lbs. (29 Nm).
2. Step 2: all bolts to 51 ft. lbs. (69 Nm).
3. Step 3: loosen all bolts by 180 degrees, then loosen an additional 180 degrees.
4. Step 4: bolts 1 and 2 to 25 ft. lbs. (24 Nm).
5. Step 5: bolts 3, 4, 5 and 6 to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
6. Step 6: all bolts plus 80-90 degrees.
7. Step 7: All bolts plus 80-90 degrees.
