Opti Head Bolt Torque?

[Salty Dog]

Anyone know what to torque the head bolts to on a stock 01 150 Opti? Also is the anything to know about installing this rubber head gasket setup? Do I coat them with anything first?


The manual I have says 30lbs then turn an additional 90 degrees. My concern is that the picture shows a normal one piece gasket and I have four pieces

You need torque to yield bolts for A 2001 opti and the picture is just the water jacket gasket.. Those bolts are the 90 degree turn ones. They need to be new bolts. You cannot re-use torque to yield fasteners. I know it feels like 200 lbs of torque to tighten them but they are made to do that ...once.

Ok, thanks for the info
