'93 2 ltr. 8v. ABT engine, auto g/b.
I've noticed a very, very slight oil leakage at the head gasket by cylinders 3 & 4. It always reappears after a run. Since this could mean taking the head off at some point I would be obliged if someone could enlighten me about the following.
1. Are there any known pitfalls to be wary of ?
2. What is the correct torque value to tighten the bolts to ?
3. Should I use new head bolts ?
4. Is a new cambelt tensioner recommended ?
5. Why is a " pencil magnet " a recommended tool for the head refitting procedure ?
Regards Dos.
