I will be replacing the head gasket on a 1997 c230. Can someone provide* me with the proper torque sequence? Ordered service manual (eBay) has not arrived and I'd like to begin the tear-down, immediately.

Can anyone help with the*111.974 engine head torque sequence info?

Best Regards

Cylinder head bolts:

3-stage tightening sequence for 111.974 engine.

1. Torque to 55Nm/44lbf ft.
2. Angle tighten through a further 90degrees in sequence.
3. Angle tighten through a further 90degrees in sequence.

Insert timing cover to cyl.head bolts(4) and torque to 25Nm/18lbf ft.
