ZX head bolt undoing sequence...

1995 ZX 1.9D Elation

My apologies, but this probably sounds like a really bone question:

The Haynes book says the head bolt undoing sequence is the opposite of the doing up; i.e., start at No 10 (cam sprocket end) and spiral in to the middle?

Also, would you undo (say) a quarter turn at a time, or is it OK to undo the bolt in one go?







Live each day as if it were your last; one day you will be right...

Undo ¼~½ a turn in turn until all are free and yes, removal in reverse of tightening order.

myglaren: thanks very much...

yep loosening is an ever decreaseing circle from either end realy, and tightening is ever increaseing circle starting from either of the two centre bolts,
