Head bolt sequence

[Ben94]

I've got the head bolt sequence in my Haynes manual for my 1.4 8v MK2 but just want to double check I've got it right.

If your looking straight at the engine from the front of the car will it be this?

10-6-2-3-7
9-5-1-4-8

Just like to double check, cheers

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yes that's right.

 

[Ben94]

Also am I right in saying the head bolts are female torx 12E? Swinging past halfords tomorrow and want to make sure I get the right size

 

[Dan@SJM]

Bigger than that I think.

 

[Ben94]

Thanks for the reply, any chance you know what size they are lol? And I bet a few people do follow the sequence in the manual without flipping it round the right way? Cheers

 

[Dan@SJM]

I think it's e16... Tbh if your doing your own stuff it's worth just buying a set.

 

[Ben94]

Yeah will probly just get a set then, that way I will always have enough for other jobs I suppose

 

[Dan@SJM]

Basic Tools required for Renault's:
8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 18, 19, 21. Torx bits, and female torx.

 

[Ben94]

Take it the head bolts are E16 then? Will buy a set anyway! Just had a quick look at head bolts and some say they are make torx?

 

[Ben94]

Male*

 

[Ben94]

Stupid question I know the head bolts on mine are female lol

 

[Dan@SJM]

Tbh I can't remember. Been a such a long time since I've worked on anything other than a 172/182!

Headbolts should be E14 afaik.

Pretty sure they are E14, i can confirm when im home tonight, got a box of headbolts and a socket in the shed.

 

[Fred@BTM]

8,4,1,5,9
7,3,2,6,10

i thought it was that way?

 

[mr.pink87]

Doesn't really matter imo as long as it's circular from inside to outside.

 

[Ben94]

Ok it's only that in the Haynes manual that the sequence is the same as what Fred put and the pic shows the fly wheel on the right hand side but mines on the left so I flipped the sequence over?

 

[Dan@SJM]

8,4,1,5,9
7,3,2,6,10

i thought it was that way?

It is on the f4r, the earlier engines is as OP

 

[Laine_16v]

Just been to shed and checked, you need an E14 socket

 

[Ben94]

Took them off earlier but thanks for replying!
