RPE Engine Refresh #14

Cleaned the cylinders and lubricated with engine oil around the bores. Fitted a new Cometic head gasket and new locating pins. Fitted the head and pushed down in to place.

Cleaned the head bolts and oiled the shafts, threads, heads and also the washers. Fitted the bolts and then tightened by hand. From the centre outwards in order I tightened the bolts and torqued to 25NM and then to 52NM. The torque for the head bolts is lower than the turbo engine as this engine is fitted with stock bolts.

Re fitted the oil line from the head to the crankcase.
