Dude, you really need to get your hands on an FSM...

But to hand feed you,

Front of cylinder head is at the 7/8 end. Start in the middle and work your way out following that order below...

7 3 1 5 9
8 4 2 6 10

with that said, also do them in increments of 15 ft lbs to to 75, then 10 more to 85 Use ARP or Moly lube on them.

...you do have an FSM I hope...

Always tighten from the inside out and loosen from the outside in. It's the same sequence for everything in the head.

do tell please... that's a difficult thing to do there... Just call ARP.

Except the cams ;):ssex:


I'm curious as to that as well!

ARP says to tighten in 3 increments to 80ft/lbs. I do 27,54 then 80.

you sure about that...? :kiss:

My FSM states to get the fronts down first, then proceed in the middle->out fashion.


So it goes 9-10-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8

^that's what it says above. I'm just confirming the sequences for head components. Tighten from the inside out and loosen from the outside in.

I was trying to make a funny with the 9-10 to start the sequence hehe


I always just did them in my sequence up to 85...unsure why, probably from some oldschool forum 'folklore' (hi Def!) when I first got into these forever ago.

^ damn, we're getting old...
