Having a nightmare - cylinder head torque

[edhorne]

Hello everyone

I am having an absolute nightmare chaning the sparkplugs on my 4.2.

I am trying to trace the cylinder head bolt torque setting.

I had to loosen one of the bolts (middle one) to retrieve my spark plug socket which I had cleverly got stuck in the number 5 plug hole

So if anyone out there knows what it should be I will be eternally grateful.

Yours swearing at his car

PS I will be angle grinding my socket down before tackling anything else!!!

Not sure of the setting but thats not too good for your head gasket.

Yeah I know,

I'm shi**ing myself that I've buggered the head gasket.

It didn't leak and it was a middle one so here's hoping......

` I ONCE GOT MY HAND STUCK BETWEEN THE METAL WATER PIPE AND THE HEAD,
LUCKILY I MANAGED TO PHONE SOME ONE TO COME AND POUR FAIRY LIQUID ON IT SO IT COULD BE PAINFULLY PULLED OUT.

New fairy liquid comercial is being filmed in GRANGETOWN,

LITTLE GIRL ASKS; Mummy why are your hands so soft,is it because you use fairy liquid?
MUMMY REPLIES; No dear, its because im only thirteen.
