Not a Capri, but a Kia can anyone help?
Hi all, I'm doing a head gasket on a mates Kia picanto tomorrow (classic case of wate mixing with oil and down on power) I was wondering if anybody knows the torque settings for the head bolts on a 2004 1.1l picanto? I'm struggling to find the answers on the net
