Question for re-assembly:

The haines manual gives the inlet sprocket retaining bolt torque as:
stage 1 = 20Nm
stage 2 = 60Nm

What is the procedure for tightening a single bolt in two stages?

There doesnt appear to be any specific reference to the two torques in the manual as there was for the head gasket bolts for instance.

You need to change the bolts as there stretch type i.e. you can only use them once.

I can only see the bolt length to check for and torques in Haynes.

If you can't spot a torx head on a bolt you're out of your depth doing a head gasket change. I would guess you don't have a torque wrench either?

Does anyone know what size/type of socket to use on the head gasket bolts? They are a 6 pointed star shape.
