Can anyone tell me the required torque on an A+ engine (or is it the same as the A series) for:
- The head bolts (well, nuts)
- The rocker retaining nuts (or whatever they're called, the ones that hold the rocker mechanism to the head; not sure if they need to be torqued up, but I'm clean and the manual is in the garage...)
Do the bolts on the backplate need to be torqued up?
And the flywheel?
can y'guess I've not had a chance to find a manual yet?
