I had to stop at step 30 B today cause I didn't have a torque wrench! Autozone is fresh out of rentals at the moment so I'm going to have to wrap her up for another weekend when I'm back from college.

 

I'm curious why the order that you have to tighten the bolts matter, can anyone answer that question or tell me what problems might occur?

A torque sequence is a normal concept with installing almost anything, it is to get the part to snug up evenly and squarely as possible, and put an even load on all the fasteners used.

Not following the sequence can result in blown gaskets, warped parts, and if someone were to just start running bolts in all the way without going in steps, they might even snap the part!!

 

Since i didn't have the torque wrench I when back to school and gave it a two week break. I left my head open and covered it in a clean plastic garbage bag. When I come back should I relube everything, any tips?

 

inspect it all again, make sure no debris got in there, make sure the lube is still on all the parts, should be good. Oh yea, and if you get back and someone has removed the bag, kill them and use it to carry away the body
