Bx head bolts

Post by Sturdybloke »

Afternoon to all. Im hoping that someone knows the correct torque and angle settings for the Bx 1.7 Td head bolts. I have done a search and all I can find is settings for the Xantia. Much appreciated.

Goes with the bolts & HG you have purchased - so have a look on the packaging.
Otherwise the BOL says (all BX/Visa/C15 XUD variants) :

pre sept '86 :
Stage 1 : 30Nm - 22LbfFt
Stage 2 : 60Nm - 44LbfFt
Stage 3 : loosen 1/4 turn, then : 60Nm - 44LbfFt
Stage 4 : after 10mins@3000rpm : loosen 1/4 turn, then 70Nm - 52LbfFt

sept '86 to '91 :
Stage 1 : 30Nm - 22LbfFt
Stage 2 : 70Nm - 52LbfFt
Stage 3 : tighten further 120deg.

'92 :
Stage 1 : 70Nm - 52LbfFt
Stage 2 : tighten further 140deg.

'93 on :
Stage 1 : 20Nm - 15LbfFt
Stage 2 : 60Nm - 44LbfFt
Stage 3 : tighten further 180deg.
