Cylinder Head torque settings

Does anyone know the torque settings for the 1100s cylinder head? Do the two external bolts have a different setting? What is the tightening sequence? Thanks in advance

Yup. Unlike earlier models with the last of 'em you torque them all to a single quite low torque figure then the four long ones get another 90 degrees plus another 90 degrees and the short ones a single step of 90 degrees. If you don't have an RTG just do it by swing.

Can't remember the initial torque off the top of my head.

Hi Pete:
Not sure what "if you don't have an RTG just do it by swing" means. I have a 2016. The online manual states:
Head fixing screw (4) - pre-tightening 15 Nm (11.06 lb ft)
Head fixing screw (4) - final tightening 42 Nm (31 lb ft)

I'm not rebuilding, just checking the torques, as one side has a slight weep. Wondering if I need a special tool instead of my good old torque wrench?!

Thanks BMR

Highly unlikely to be the head gasket.

Check the cooling circuit banjo isn't weeping and the coolant gallery plugs. Could also be a plug tube o-ring. Post a pic and I might have a better idea.

If you do decide to re-torque the main studs don't forget to loosen the two camchain tunnel clamp bolts first.
