Hey All,

I should be putting the head back on my 225 in the next day or so. I haven't got my service manual for my car yet (ordered on amazon) but I want to get going!

Can anyone tell me the sequence for torqing the head? I seem to remember the torque spec being 70-75 ft-lbs. Is that about right?

Thank you!

Chris

70 ft-lbs is fine.
Basically, start at the center bolts and work out evenly to each end.
The main point is to "squeeze" the gasket out either end so no wrinkles develop.
