Hyundai Repair: torque cylinderheads, cylinder head bolts, cylinderheads
Questionafter applying the amount of pressure needed to torque the head what do you mean when you say + 60-65 degrees.
AnswerThere are 360 degrees in one complete circle. So 60 degrees is 1/6 of a circle. A typical specification is xx ft-lb + 60-65 degrees + 60-65 degrees.
So, when torquing the cylinder head bolts, first follow the pattern indicated and torque each to the specified torque value (using ft-lb or Nm or whatever other torque units are on your torque wrench). Then turn each bolt 1/6 turn, once again following the pattern. And lastly, turn each bolt 1/6 turn, again following the pattern.
