I hope you have a 10mm allen/hex key socket handy with 1/2 inch drive otherwise buy one :wink:

A new head gasket would be preferred too.

Spiral pattern shall do to get them off.

Spiral pattern

Start in the centre and work your way out in a circular motion,never undoing one completely in one go,do it evenly in a couple of passes.

Same goes for doing it up.

Apaprently there is a few different specs of torque depending on what date of manufacture your car is.

Usually its 90-100Nm when cold.
The inlet manifold is only 15-20Nm
Dont strip them.
Search the Vfaq for help if u like
It may be have relevant stuff.

Engine number
stamped on the side...
Thinks its either on the gearbox
Or near or around under the thermostat hosing.....?

Anyone..?

If u have an early model the torque is diff to a later model,where the models become different im not sure but i could find out.
Usually its as i said,90-100Nm. cold.

engine number on a '63 is on a machined part of the block, behind the turbo. Is on mine anyway
