head bolt torque settings

Postby polker8 » Thu Jun 25, 2020 10:20 pm

Hello, would anyone know the correct torque setting for the head bolts on a 2.0 eco blue engine? Also the camshaft carrier and injectors?What a job to get this engine apart!,

Stage 2 40nm
Stage 3 90 degrees
Stage 4 90 degrees again
Stage 5 90 degrees a final time.

Thank you, That might explain why I could not get them undone, the ribe bit kept slipping out as they are such a shallow head, I resorted to drilling the heads off to get them out, might have to try harder putting it back together again,, plus i need a new set of injectors! good old ford

Any chance you can remember what size RIBE bit i need for these head bolts? Taking one apart later in the week so may need to get the correct socket.
