LH and RH are indeed the wrong way round in the amnual. However you SHOULD be replacing your timing chains anyway and once you have them in your hands it's obvious that the RH one should go on first, because it sits in front of the LH one. Torque both heads down and change the chains. Now you can take this at face value, but we were told by an experienced Renault mechanic not to worry about the torquing procedure, just to torque all the head bolts (in the correct order) to 90 ft-lbs Martin cruznmd wrote: > >"Valve timing LH side >Turn crank clockwise so keyway lies on center line of LH bank of >cylinders.
