model 50 torque settings

[Brian Tyree]

I have a 1953 Model 50 that I have had for a number of years. The motor was stuck. I just got it un-stuck. I have ordered the gaskets to put it back together. what is the torque settings for the head bolts and other than a cross pattern should I use a particular pattern when torqueing the head bolts. Thanks Brian

Information should be here...

You use a "Circular Pattern"...

Torque value for head stud nuts is 104#

I would torque in an X cross pattern starting in the center.

Retorque after you run the engine up to operating temp.

1-800-522-7448 for a service manual. There are a several important clearances , torques and assembly steps. Which if missed, will cost far more than what a service manual costs.
