Good morning.

Doing this this morning and confused by Haynes manual and need some help please.

I have to torque the bolts up in two stages, first stage between 5-8Nm & second stage the same.

Surely if say you torque them up to 8 on the first stage you cannot do them again a second stage to 8.

Obviously I am not an expert so please be gentle with me!

Thanks

as you bolt the sump up the gasket will get compressed and some of the bolts will losen up after you have tightened them initally

 

its kinda a double check that everythings tight

as a rule always double check every bolt, screw, etc that you put back on to make sure its in correct at right setting etc
