Does anyone know the torque settings for the head bolts?? Getting a bit desparate now. Cant find it anywhere

Richard B I had a chat with a Honda garage parts guy the other day who was very helpful and he spoke with his mechanics. He says that given how small the difference between the 5 head gasket thicknesses, it would be ok to use the 1.5mm gasket in place of a thiner one. In fact they recommended...

So does anyone know if and how it is possible to determine the thickness/ correct head gasket before taking it off. I understand that it can be any of 5 different ones. Many thanks

Hi Richard B Sorry - didn't realise I had typed guides. I did mean seals. Can I replace them without removing the head then - I wasn't aware of that. Certainly would be cheaper and quicker wouldn't it. I'll have a look at the link you have included - thanks

Can anyone tell me how to determine what thickness head gasket is on the engine before I take it off. I want to get all the parts ready before I renew the valve stem guides on my N22a1 engine. When I start up in the mornings a small amount of blue smoke drifts out of the exhaust for about a...

dvjver@zen.co.uk - Thanks for that - I'll stay online for it.

Hi Brettmk Thanks for getting back. I wouldn think the crankshaft pulley bolt torque would differ very much if at all between Mk7 and 8. Like wise, apparently the only difference between the two engines are the fact that the inlet and exhaust cams are reversed on the 8 so I would think the...

Hi Brettmk That doesn't seem to work either unfortunately. Probably pushing my luck here but just to get me out of a hole, can I ask you if you could interrorgate your manual and let me know what the torque settings are for the bolts that hold the camshaft down and also the bolt that holds the...

Hi BRETTMK Thanks for your reply I tried your suggestion in Chrome but when I typed in internet explorer in the search bar at the top it came up with a message "no search results found" Really though Christmas had come early!! Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Are you sure """Remove the cylinder head""" Why would you want to remove the head just to replace the rockers?

Hi btjaylor Thanks for your reply. I'll give it a try. By the way, have you or anyome out there replaced the rockers and lifters? Can it be done without moving the camshaft. I'd rather not have to re-set the timing given how much trouble it is to take off the timing chain cover and put it back...

nobody???

Hi I used to have a service manual on CD but since a Windows 10 update wiped Explorer of the computer, it won't operate and I am just about to undertake the renewal of the hydraulic lifters and rockers. So, is there a step by step guide for this job on here somewhere or can someone give me any...

Wow! that was a quick reply! Interesting about the price differential. Ao where did you buy your new wiper arms from, if any. Regards

Hi btjtaylor Thank for your repry and apologies for not getting back sooner. Been away from home for a couple of days. Have you purchased these from Amaya then? I looked them up and there seems to be a lot of adverse comments about them. Are they OK? Regards

Hi Has anyone purchased any third party Front wiper arms (not blades) for their Mk7 CL/CN diesel If so can you let me know where and what make they were. I am having a problem locating some new ones. Honda have stopped selling them and everybody on-line I have contacted say theirs don't fit...

Thanks for your help guys

Hi Channel Hopper Thanks for your reply I have changed the oil every 6K which is probably why the engine is still smooth at 250K but as I said, I have been wonderin about different grades now. Do you know anything about this Castrol engine oil shampoo?? any good? Regards

Forgot to say F6HAD I did contact Castrol and gave them all the facts I put on this forum and they are adamant that I should use Castrol Magnatec 5W-30 A5 but then they further down the page, ""For sure Castrol EDGE brand is better than Castrol Magnatec as we have mentioned because it has has...

Sounds like wise advice F6HAD So you don't think I should go for something different for a high mileage engine
