unbolting main caps question.

Featured Replies

Hello

I just got my pistons off. I reviewed the FSM and the how to rebuild datsun engines book but I cant find the part where it talks about the main cap bolt removal sequence. The books warns about warping the head when the bolts are not taken off properly. What about the main cap bolts?? should they come off in a certain order?

I looked at the How To Rebuild book and it just says loosen all the bolts, then remove them. Page 48. I don't think it's complicated, there's only two per cap and the block is not going to warp.

Just reverse the torque sequence if you're worried.
