Question:
my son has a 1300cc Vauxhall astra 1985 the head gasket has gone he wants to know the torque settings for this and the numbers of the bolts which has to be removed first with many thanks a very frustrated mum |

Answer:
His best bet is to buy a Haynes manual, it's more than likely that the bolts are stretch bolts, and are not torqued down...he must follow the instructions carefully... If he removes the head bolts evenly, starting from the middle, he should be ok.... I'm sorry to hear of your frustration.....! |
