when standing in front of the car looking at the engine, the torque sequence is as follows.

Head bolts...
8---6---2---4---10

9---3---1---5---7

you torque them in three steps
1 - 29lbs-ft
2 - 51lbs-ft
3 - 72lbs-ft

as for the rocker arm assembly bolts, the torque sequence is different between the F22B1 and F22B2 but the torque specs are the same...

8mm bolts = 16lbs-ft
6mm bolts = 9lbs-ft

rocker arm bolts are 10mm and 12mm's TA

TouringAccord · 04-26-2008, 08:59 AM

yes and no. I was referring to the thread size and you would be referring to the head size... if I'm not mistaken.

oem_certified_accord · 04-26-2008, 11:05 AM

lol what?

head bolts = 14mm, rocker arm assembly bolts = 10mm backside, 12mm frontside & midrow.

unless your mean the vtec monster head, then that would make me feel dumb
