Joe, et al:
Yesterday, when I dropped my head off for rebuild, the mechanic reminded me
to torque the head immediately after the engine warms up...and to do it
again at about 500 miles. This agrees with this list, plus agreeing with
the Haynes book in the engine rebuild section.
They also said to torque it to 50 vice 46. Any thoughts on this? I was
under the impression that too much torque was not good.
And on another note, I remember a thread where the little pieces of wood for
the front? plate were needed. BPNW includes them in their engine gasket
kit. NFI on my end. Just noted that they were in the kit when I unboxed it
the other day.
