Cylinder head bolt kit for BMW N13, Mini N12, N14, N16, N18 and Peugeot EP6 1.6T 16v (for Mini)
MINI N12, N14, N16, and N18 engine cylinder head bolts (2007-2013 models) typically require a specific multi-stage torque sequence to ensure a good seal. The torque sequence for M10 bolts is 30 Nm + 90° + 90°, and for M8 outer bolts it is 15 Nm + 90° + 90°. These bolts are torque-yielding bolts and need to be replaced during servicing.
