Questions and answers
Do my 5 series estate automatic diesel head need re torquing after having a new head gasket fitted
Yes, the BMW 5 Series requires re-torquing of the cylinder head bolts after fitting a new head gasket. The bolts should be tightened in sequence to 22 foot-pounds if using a genuine BMW gasket or 30 Newton meters for an aftermarket gasket. Then, tighten all bolts an additional 80 degrees using a torque angle tool, followed by another 80-degree rotation in the same sequence. If the head gasket provides different instructions, those should be followed.
