torque bolts

[franklin1966]

being a new member, (and owner off a 98 Montana)i spend a litlle time reading some messages with the cracked intake and head gaskets.
Need some advise:
head bolts torque and pattern ?
intake (lower) torque old bolts possible ?
how to move engine forward to get some space for taking
coils and bracket off ?

Living in Holland (Europa) makes things not easier
Find it hard to get info at a dealership ,thats why a lot off
people here drive a non american car i think

thanks in advance for your time and tips

Are you able to get Haines Manuals there? If so, that would be really helpful. Maybe you can find them on Amazon or eBay. The answers to all of your questions are in the Haines Manual.

One thing I wanted to add, do not reuse the old bolts on the intake gasket replacement. GM recommends new bolts and sells them with a special threadlocker applied to the threads. The old bolts were part of the problem that the old gaskets had.
