  • Torque to yield question

    I just got another Festiva and the previous owner swapped the head. Can I remove and reuse the torque to yield bolts if they have been torqued to 36 already? I want to open it up and make sure there's nothing inside the engine before I torque the head down the rest of the way.

    Our head bolts are not torque-to-yield. You can re-use them without problems.
