Subject:Diesel head bolt torque, Cofap rings
From:Dan Snow
Date:Wed, 24 Oct 2001 11:16:11 -0700

Two questions:
1) In the Bentley head bolt torque procedure for 1.6NA stretch bolts, does
the first retightening after a warm-up need to be done after the engine
cools down completely?

2) anyone have experience with Cofap rings? My diesel consigliere has a
wabbit diesel with >200,000 miles on Cofap rings. I see that Cofap is a
joint venture between someone and Mahle, so that has to be good. Anyone?

Thanks in advance
