I removed the head from my 312-8, that has a Kohler Magnum 12HP engine, and I am now ready to reinstall the head with a new Kohler head gasket. The Kohler manual says 25~30 ft lbs of torque.
A friend says torque to 5 ft lbs, then 10, then 15, then 20 and then 25???
I say say torque to 10 ft lbs, then 25, run till it’s hot, cool down an re-torque to 25 ft lbs.
Recommendations?
Thanks
Francis
