Listers,
I am assembling my rebuilt 66 BJ8 cylinder head.
What torque reading should I take the nuts to? The manual says 900 inch
pounds which is 56.25 foot pounds. That doesn't seem right. I have been
told 70 - 75 foot pounds. I have also been told 85 foot pounds.
Everyone says to reach final torque in 3 steps, increasing by 15 pounds
each step.
What is correct?
I have also been told to seal each head bolt into the block. If so, what
sealant should I use?
Fred
