Hi.. May i know hyundai atos 1.0cc conrod torque

Yes, I can help you with the cylinder head torque wrench setting for your Hyundai Atos 1.0cc. Here are the torque specifications:

First pass: Tighten all bolts to 18 lb-ft (25 Nm)
Second pass: Tighten all bolts to 45 lb-ft (61 Nm)
Third pass: Tighten all bolts to a final torque of 65 lb-ft (88 Nm)
It's important to tighten the bolts in the correct sequence. The sequence is as follows:

10 6 2 3 7
9 5 1 4 8

Note: The numbers above refer to the cylinder head bolts in the correct sequence. Always use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure that the bolts are tightened to the correct specification.

I hope this helps you with your cylinder head installation. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask.

I need troque setting for cylinder head bolts for Madza MX3

zjlimited_1139.jpg

Fig. 1: Cylinder head bolt tightening sequence for all 4-cylinder engines


1. Clean the cylinder head bolts and the threads in the block. Make sure the bolts turn freely in the block.

2. Install a new head gasket on the engine block. Make sure the camshaft sprocket timing marks are still aligned, as set during the removal procedure. Install the cylinder head.

3. Lubricate the bolt threads and seat surfaces with clean engine oil and install them. Torque the bolts in 2-3 steps to 56-60 ft. lbs. (75-81 Nm) in the proper sequence.

Hope helps.

Correct pressure for torque the head of mazda pickup 1998

Since you didn't say which engine you have, I've pulled torque specs for 3 different engines. Also, since I can't include a diagram showing the relative locations of the numbered head-bolt locations, it would be a good idea for you to purchase a vehicle specific repair guide that will show this info.


Take particular note about the TTY (Torque to Yield) bolts used on 2 of the 3 engines shown. It is said that new head bolts MUST BE USED when head is replaced or re-installed to obtain the proper torque.



B2500 4 Cylinder

Torque sequence: --------- ' 10 6 2 4 8 ' front ' ' ' 7 3 1 5 9 ' -----------Step 1: torque in sequence to 51 Ft/Lbs Step 2: torque again in sequence to 51 Ft/Lbs Step 3: final tighten all bolts an additional 90 to 100 degrees recheck final torque in sequence *** 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.







B3000 3.0 6 Cylinder

Torque sequence ---------- ' 6 4 2 8 ' ' ' ' 5 1 3 7 ' ---------- Step 1: torque to 59 Ft/Lbs Step 2: loosen in sequence (1) full turn Step 3: torque to 41 Ft/Lbs Step 4: torque to 73 Ft/Lbs









B4000 4.0 6 Cylinder

Torque sequence --------- ' 5 1 3 7 ' ' ' ' 6 4 2 8 ' --------- Step 1: torque cylinder head bolts in sequence to 26 Ft/Lbs Step 2: torque cylinder head bolts to 56 Ft/Lbs Step 3: turn cylinder head bolts in sequence an additional 90-degrees recheck final torque in sequence *** 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.


Good luck with this job!
