[SCHWARTZ]

what torque do you do the head bolt up to on these lumps? and is that wet or dry?

on which engine buddy.

b18ft

wet or dry?

They should always be torqued up when properly lubed, I thought. Or you get false readings as the friction varies.

Unless you use an angle gauge and do it by ° and not by torque.

10.9 - 65nm
12.9 -90nm

or use the arp f4r stud set which will also fit f7p/f7r and should also fit the b18 head as they seem to share the same length head bolt as f7p/f7r--good for 130nm(for big boooost):cooter:

[SCHWARTZ]

not looking at silly boost atm but il bear that in mind:laugh: il do it to 90nm then cheers chaps.
