Cylinder Head nut torqueing pattern

[Michael Oritt]

I do not have a shop manual available and would like to either access online or receive by email at: awgertoo@aol.com an illustration (page scan, photo, document, etc. etc.) showing the pattern for torqueing cylinder head nuts.

Biggest thing to remember is inside - out, meaning start in the middle and work your way out, this applies to any motor.
Start out with just snugging everthing, then about half the required torque then split the that again between what you just torqued to and the final torque, then go to the final torque number, I always double check between each torque as well. make sure everyhting is oiled and never use split lockwashers anywhere on the head.

Nothing more to add except remember to back your torque wrench down to zero when finished. NEVER store it set to a torque setting.

The SnapOn guy told me, so it MUST be true

The instructions for mine tell you to back it down for storage.
