What is the torque specification for Volkswagen cylinder head bolts?

[DiBella]

Volkswagen cylinder head bolts require 8 Nm for the main bearing caps and 6 Nm for the connecting rod bearing caps. Introduction to engine torque: Torque is a special type of moment that causes an object to rotate. Engine torque refers to the rotational force output from the crankshaft. At a given power level, it is inversely proportional to engine speed - higher speeds result in lower torque, and vice versa. This reflects a vehicle's load capacity within a certain range. External torque is called torsion or external couple moment, while internal torque is referred to as internal couple moment or simply torque. Function of engine torque: An engine's maximum torque depends on the design of its intake system, fuel delivery system, and ignition system. At certain RPMs, when these systems are optimally matched, maximum torque can be achieved. Additionally, engine power, torque, and speed are interrelated through the equation: Power = K × Torque × Speed, where K is a conversion factor. When selecting an engine, it's important to consider how to utilize its capabilities efficiently without wasting existing functions.
