sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted January 1, 2013 You should be safe with the same specs as for the H-60, 200 in/lbs or 16.5 ft/lbs. Remember you are torquing into 50 year old aluminum, so be nice to it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fourwheels0 191 #4 Posted January 1, 2013 great thanks guys. yes i will be careful with it. ok i got the specs but i didn't see a torque pattern for the head. should i start in the center and work my way out in a crisscross pattern?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
