Good morning,
Can I have the complete VIN number for the car?
I list a 1.7 or a 2.0 engine. I want to be sure to give you the correct information.

I don't know VIN number. I saw the car on sale and I am thinking of buying it and fixing it. Engine is 1.6 liter with vtec.

Okay, I attached the information for you below for the head gasket.
You need to make 2 passes over the bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In the first step, tighten all bolts in sequence to about 29 Nm (3.0 kgs.cm, 22 ft.lbs.). In the final step, tighten in the same sequence to 83 Nm (8.5 kgs.cm, 61 ft.lbs.).
Make sure you use new bolts only. The bolts are 1 time use only and if you reuse the bolts, they will loosen up and cause all kinds of issues.
