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.
