1948 H 226 engine head bolt torque and V8's
Quick question (ok two) what is the torque for the head bolts and does anyone have a chart to show proper order to tighten the bolts?
Thanks

Torque to 65-70 like the manual states. Also the manual states- 65-70 for the 8BA. Cylinder head nuts for both the 6 and the 8 is 50-55.
