Reply With QuoteHi, yes that is the correct procedure for these heads, torque first and then angular torquing. As for the gasket, you would assume they supplied the correct one.

Hi guys, hoping for some more specific information than my manual seems to offer. I'm sure I am not the first to have ordered a 300 Tdi "performance" head from Turners. The head, gaskets timing belt and new bolts all arrived in a timely manner, in a neat package. In regards to torqueing it down the manual states that all bolts are to be torqued to 40 Nm then finished by degrees of rotation (angle gauge is on order). No mention of final torque or retorque requirements. It's a single hole head gasket but I assume it will be correct as supplied with the head?

Thanks Bundalene, so is it a monotorque type gasket or do I retorque?

Hi,
I believe the head gasket is determined by how much the pistons protrude from the block, and has nothing to do with the head.
What gasket was in the motor before?

No, you tension to angle, that's it.
Gasket thickness is determined by piston protrusion, it has nothing to do with the head (which is flat)
Unless the block has been decked, or new crank/rods/pistons installed, you use the same thickness gasket as was already on there.
[edit] Tony beat me
BTW, make sure the threads are lubed and the holes chased before tensioning.
I'd personally ARP's lube if available, just makes things more consistent than the old school engine oil or assembly lube we all used to use.
As far as I'm aware the engine's original apart from the times I've been in there, only big ends, timing belts, front of timing case, oilpump, relief valve etc. Haven't pulled her apart yet, just getting organized. Will check the existing gasket when I'm in there and get the lube beforehand. Whatever it takes for the best outcome, she's been a great vehicle so far and is still running sweet.At 252000 km

NO...
you cannot assume that the supplied gasket is the correct one.
The thickness of the head gasket is determined by the protrusion of the piston past the deck at TDC. How does a head supplier know what the protrusion from the block is if you havent told them or had them measure it?
from memory the thickness are
1 hole/notch = 1.3mm
2=1.4
3-1.5
0=1.6

Best you get the correct gasket first, to find the piston height rotate the crank to exactly top dead centre, use a straight edge across the top of the piston and then with feeler gauges measure the gap between the straight edge and the top of the block.
The critical measurement is for the highest piston, select the next thickest gasket for that piston protrusion.
There are four gaskets to choose from;
ERR 5261 ------ 1.30 mm -- 1 hole
ERR 5262 ------ 1.40 mm -- 2 holes
ERR 5263 ------ 1.50 mm -- 3 holes -- most common gasket
ERR 7154 ------ 1.60 mm -- no holes

Ugh !
