Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody knows the correct settings for the bolts that bolt the tappet to the head. Rocker arm. Using the torque settings for a VS just snapped the bolt lol. So if anybody knows could ya post asap as its the only thing holding me up getting this engine going. Cheers.

p.s its a late vp motor (92 i believe). series 2

The early VPV6 rocker bolts tighten up to 50 - 65 Nm. For VPV6's built after the 26th october 1992, the rocker bolts tighten up to 12 - 18 Nm + 90 degrees (or 1 quarter of a turn)
