SpoiledGT 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 Hi guys have a leaking gasket on the lower head of my v6 and gonna attempt changing it myself. I've got an original alfa gasket and all the tools I think I need plus a general idea of what to do but was wondering if anyone had any pointers or knew of any guides online that could help me out? Also I have a torque wrench but it doesn't go down as low as the 8Nm specified for the bolts. I understand the cover shouldn't be replaced too tight? Thanks in advance..

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD 6mm ALLEN BIT AS THE BOLTS ROUND OUT EASILY. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
