    New cylinder head torque specs

    The February 2010 issue of "Engine Builder" magazine states there are updated 3.1 and 3.4 cylinder head torque specs.

    Here is a scan of the magazine...

      That's tighter than I recall. I remember it being 33 lbs-ft plus 90 degrees and the tightening order being a spiral pattern.

      Edit: My bad. L82 is 33 lbs-ft plus 90, LG8/LA1 is 44 lbs-ft plus 95.

        My GM service manual and the Haynes manual have the same/old specs.

          Just double checked, 44+ 95 degrees is what i've been using for at least the last 5 yrs.

          how old is your GM manual?

            My GM manual says 6-25-94 on the 2nd page.

            My Haynes manual says (c) 1996, 1997, 2000, 2004
