I asked this here because it could be ranked as an opinion-based question.

3) tighten them to 10 Nm

2) tighten them to 5 Nm

1) tighten all bolts fingertight
Dec 28, 2023 23:18
It says:
Dec 28, 2023 23:17
It is so easy! Just tightening the bolts from left to right then from right to left!
Dec 28, 2023 23:16
It is so strange that I thought it could be a typo!

It is usually something like the following in most cars:
Dec 28, 2023 23:13
I have never seen such a sequence
Dec 28, 2023 23:13
Isn't it strange?
Dec 28, 2023 23:13
This is the tightening sequence recommended by manufacturer for my car

There is something strange about my cam caps.
Dec 28, 2023 23:11
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 I used to think it is as easy as putting them flush with the head and tighten the caps!
Dec 28, 2023 23:07
Some say when you start to tighten the caps, the seals may want to go out.
Dec 28, 2023 23:05
That's why I always ask you first when in doubt about something.
Dec 28, 2023 23:05
I have done many services on cars based on your tips and nothing has ever gone wrong.
Dec 28, 2023 23:04
I just wanted to make sure, I have understood your tips well. That's all.
Dec 28, 2023 22:54
And by being perpendicular to the cam, you mean both the lower and upper parts of the seal should form a straight line and go in equally.
Dec 28, 2023 22:53
If this is what you mean by NON-perpendicular, then I got your point.
Dec 28, 2023 22:52
Do you mean for example the lower part of the seal (below camshaft) is further in than the upper part (above the camshaft)?
Dec 28, 2023 22:51
How could it be?
Dec 28, 2023 22:51
Is it possible to be non-perpendicular to the cam as well?
Dec 28, 2023 22:51
perpendicular to the cam

Squareness in the groove
Dec 28, 2023 22:44
What do you exactly mean by Squareness?
Dec 28, 2023 22:43
My car still has its original seals after 20 years with zero leakage but since I have to replace my lifters I have to replace the seals as well. I have no choice!
Dec 28, 2023 22:41
To be honest, you freaked me out when you talked about leakage!
Dec 28, 2023 22:40
Yes, I can use them once. I know it.
Dec 28, 2023 22:36
I'm considering buying a rusty cylinder head from a scrapyard and practice on it first before doing anything in the real world.
Dec 28, 2023 22:35
This is probably the problem most people have faced with
Dec 28, 2023 22:34
The only thing I'm afraid about is how deep should the seal be. How far should it go in
Dec 28, 2023 22:33
I can make some measurements for the correct position of the seal
Dec 28, 2023 22:33
How should I make sure these things won't happen?
Dec 28, 2023 22:17
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2
Dec 28, 2023 22:14
Is this the groove you were talking about in your tips?

Ich denke, dass "noch" in beiden Sätzen ähnliche bedeutung hat.
Nov 20, 2023 10:06
2 - Ich werde "noch" heute Abend zu ihr gehen
Nov 20, 2023 10:06
1- Bitte heute "noch" die Rechnung hier bezahlen
Nov 19, 2023 21:30
Warum beides und nicht beide?
Nov 16, 2023 14:54
Beim klingt besser.
Nov 16, 2023 14:53
Rufen Sie beim Restaurant Zur Post an.
Nov 16, 2023 14:53
im?
Nov 16, 2023 14:53
Rufen Sie im Restaurant Zur Post an.
Nov 11, 2023 22:02
Ich verstehe es nicht, warum "bei" hier "von" bedeuten kann.
