composite head gasket torque settings m20

HI All

Just wanted to ask if you torque a composite head gasket to the came as a solid copper one which is 30ft/lbs or 40Nm as I seem to having problems with the composite ones blowing

Re: composite head gasket torque settings m20

Carl the trouble with the modern composite gaskets is that they can need re-torquing up to 5-6 times as they just keep squeezing up. Follow the info here.

Better still, fit a solid copper gasket. I expect TT John still has some.
