Idle going up and down
My idle has been acting up for the last month and Ive isolated it to a warped face at the intake manifold ISC valve on the manifold side. I found that when I was putting another ISC valve on. RTV worked for a week but now its running up and down again. I had a machine shop check my spare manifold and they said its good, no warpage.
While I have everything off I figure Now would be a good time to re-torque the head bolts so I went out and got a Torque wrench at the one and only Sears here in Kuwait. I opened up the valve cover and lo and behold the head bolts are allen bolts. Can someone tell me what size the bolt is so I can get the right allen key? Im at a halt till tomorrow till I get the tool to do this. Sears isn't open at 11PM LOL. |
ok TSRM says its a 10mm hex so Ill go with that.

You'll need a 3/8" drive 10 mm allen socket. At least 4-6" long, to fit down beside the cams.
Be sure to torque down to 72 ft lbs. |
Yeah I'm going to use an extention if they don't have one long enough. Ill torque in 5 pound increments to 70 then a last of 72 so it should be 3 passes.
might as well also check the valve clearences too. I bought the special tools about 4 years ago and only used them once. After my last little incident with the plug that came off the back of the block I better do this as a precaution till I bring back a metal gasket from vacation. |
