In Reply to: Question about head bolt replacement... posted by cw on June 17, 2001 at 20:58:24:

Also, when replacing 1 by 1 at a time does it mater about the sequence of bolt replacement since pre-load exists?

As always thanks for the advice,
CW

I may be misunderstanding you... but

I would not replace the head bolts in situ (one by one ). You should remove all the bolts in reverse order, then put in the new ones in as per the ordering you mention. You don't want to cause flex or warp your head becuase of un-even pre-load on each bolt.

Hope that helps..
