What are the torque specifications for the car listed above LS model, 1.8 engine. On the head bolts, camshaft engine valve cover bolts, and the camshaft bolt? Also, are the head bolts reusable?

Good morning.

I attached a chart with all the torque specs you need for your project.

No, the head bolts cannot be reused. They are called torque to yield bolts and are one time use only. If you try to reuse the bolts, they may either break or they will come loose in a short period of time and cause all kinds of issues.

Make sure you follow the tightening sequence exactly so the head lays flat on the block. Use a good quality torque wrench as well.

Okay, got them.

2. Install the 11 bolts (2, 3) and tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb in).
