Guest Bill Bickell Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 replacing head gasket on 1925 maxwell, what should the head bolts be torqued? I've looked in Dykes and in my manual but I found nothing, or I missed everything ! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Richardson Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 BillJust a guess, but you probably wouldn't go too far off course if you follow the Ford Model T tightening regime: clean with a tap all of the bolt holes; tighten bolts in order from the center out; tighten in two or three rounds of increasing torque; tighten to about 50 lbs; retighten after running the engine.
