Hello,

I am replacing the cylinder head in my Hilux Surf and I cannot find a concise number for the proper torque that I should be using on the main bolts. I've seen/heard people say anything from 54 to 96 foot pounds.

Might anyone here have any insight into this? Please let me know, it's the only thing holding me back from completing the assembly.

Thanks!

 

Oh by the way it's the 2L-T engine.

 

looks like 87lb-ft

 

Hah, I think you posted as I posted the reply regarding the engine.

It's the 2L-T.

 

*bump*

Just to make sure you saw my reply since I edited the post.

 

This is excellent, thank you so much for posting this!

I was going to guess anywhere between 84 and 90 as I had read that somewhere else as well. My other concern was that I was reading in another spot that the 14mm bolts would only hold up to 85 foot pounds (which is why i was wary of the 96 someone else had recommended to me). So 87 seems about right then, now I can get on finishing this!

Thanks again!
