Torquing Sequence
Torquing Sequence
I can not put my hands on my Y-Block book. Would someone post diagrams for torquing sequence for the heads? A little later I could use the diagram for the intake. I am not able to work on my rebuild every day. Thanks.
Top center, bottom center, then top bolt to right of center, bottom bolt left of center. Next the top bolt to left of center, bottom bolt to right of center, and so on. Dont have a diagram. Chase threads in block. Clean and oil head bolts. Torque to 35, 50, and 70, each time using the same tightening sequence. Make sure each head gasket is placed so that the square corner is forward, and to the intake side.
The same idea on the intake. I use high temp wheel grease on each side of the intake gaskets. The gaskets seal well, but are easy to remove next time around, and most often can be reused. 24 to 28 ft lbs. There isnt any need to torque in intake in multiple steps like suggested for the heads.
