I have the torque pattern and values. The ultimate question is, ,
Can these head bolts be reused?
Or are they a "one time" use only?
I will be doing a valve job in the near future and don't want to go back into the engine, unnecessarily. Cheers,, G.
That simple of a question deserves an answer. I have a hard copy FSM for the 2000 Montero, which has the 3.5 engine. And after looking closely in the manual, I can't answer your question. Says nothing about whether they are torque to yield. Maybe the omission is the answer (doesn't say they are torque to yield), but I just don't like making that assumption. I have not had the heads off. I would have suspected torque to yield, but that means nothing.
