    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi iam looking for all the head bolts and valve cover torque specs.Been looking for a book but no luck and got out bid on one on ebay.Please help thanks ....
 
This is for an '85 700 but yours should be about the same. 26-29 lb-ft is what the manual calls for on the nuts that hold the head down. If there is a small bolt at the front of the head torque it to 6-8.5 lb-ft. As for the valve cover just tighten it down until the cover snugs up, about 9-10 lb-ft. The head has to be tightened down in a certain order. Pretend the top line that follows is the exhaust side of the head and the lower line is intake. This is assuming you do have 12 nuts holding the head down. The number on the left is the left side of the engine. Tighten it down in increments starting with about 12 lb-ft and graduate up so it takes about 3 or 4 rotations to get it tightened. You may already know this but you would be surprised how many don't.
