I have a GA15DE with blown head gasket.
Head torque settings (as advised by local nissan tech) are:
29 Nm
then 58 Nm
Then loosen
Then 29 NM
Then 50-55 degrees (clockwise)
I wanted to post those for reference - because I could find the information nowhere, the only GA15DE workshop manual I could locate was very expensive (about US$400), and googling for information came up with nothing. So please - if those are wrong, post a reply because someone else apart from me might use them.
... But I haven't got to that part yet.
With the engine in car (ex-japan Pulsar), is there a way to drop the lower timing chain without removing water pump / lower timing cover etc? (access will be a big problem with motor in the car).
Photo below - not sure if perhaps this cogs split front/rear (upper chainlower chain), otherwise it looks like lower timing chain is going to have to come off to remove cog before lifting head.
