Need some technical help with cylinder head bolts

DezUk · 8 Feb 2007 at 15:52

This is a long shot but I was looking for some technical info for a 1996 Chevy Astro Van. Its a V6 4WD model and I was looking for the torque settings for the cylinder head bolts. I've had a hunt on google but can't find any answers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Doesnt look like it lists the tightening torques, autodata is good for that kind of stuff, but it doesnt feature American cars unfortunatly.

Had a search but couldn't find anything specific either, there was one vague reference but nothing solid. Do I win a prize for useless interesting find during the search though?
