okay, so i'm putting this F22B back together, and getting to torquing the bolts down, so i go to customlowz thread to see what's up with the specs, and they'll say "Stage 1 xxftlbs" then "Stage 2 xxftlbs". what's with the stage1/2? pictures for a reference would be nice, i wanna get this motor back together asapppppp.

It means to torque all the bolt down to the first stage then repeat the process again for the second stage.
The headbolts are 3 stages. First stage is low lbs, then medium, then high.

hmm...well if you took them off randomly and took each bolt out all the way, then your head could be warped...Removing the bolts is equally important, so if it was fully torqued at one end, and then you had half of them all the way out, chances are the head got a little warped...Have it checked with a true straight edge and feeler gauge.

no, the head is good. a buddy of mine was helping me take it off, he used to be a technician over at a local BMW dealer, and now works over at one of the local honda dealers. it's all straight, he jsut wasn't here to help me put them back on

30 lb-ft, 50 lb-ft and 80 lb-ft for the head bolts on F22ax motor. Do it in three stages and use a torque wrench obviously! A good concept if you do not know the tightening pattern to most everything you will encounter...Originally posted by nporno, the head is good. a buddy of mine was helping me take it off, he used to be a technician over at a local BMW dealer, and now works over at one of the local honda dealers. it's all straight, he jsut wasn't here to help me put them back on
Start in the middle, then work your way out from the middle to either ends, criss-crossing. It's common sense once you understand how the part is being fastened down and realize how torque plays a role in how flat things will be. Once you deal with parts that will leak if not done properly and higher torque applications, it allows you to see this concept.Comment
