I would have thought the normal torque setting for the head bolts would be fine if there are no instructions on the gaskets itself, they are stretch bolts anyway.lol

pop into your local halfrauds and have a look in the haynes manual... i will check the torque later for you mate because im going out now.....I do remember you have to torque them up in a set order and then turn them an extra 90 degrees if that makes sense..

I hope you got the head skimmed to get it all flat again and rubbed down the block before fitting a thicker gasket

hi people, just need to put a oil return to the sump, ive searched and found few pics but would i have to weld on a bolt or is there a special adapter i can buy as i dnt want it sticking out 2 much inside the sump.

ive got a remote oil filter kit but was wondering if i could just get a t-piece to the oil return on the kit instead of modifying sump.

wud appreciate some help as i have nearly finished it off now.

remove sump and weld insuitable pipe ,must be nice down hill slope from tirbo ,no loops or u bends in it ,or it will cause back up of oil
