ransome Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Going to replace the head gasket on this flathead , does anyone know the torque sequence . I know generally that you start in the middle and spiral around. Also any have any tips or tricks for this procedure? thanks Gregg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Just bring it up to torque gradually, go through the pattern in at least 3 passes. The modern head gaskets for older engines seem to require more re-torquing, not less. After you start driving it, recheck it every few days until you are sure it has settled down. I don't have the torque pattern but someone in here probably will. If not, I doubt you could go too wrong with the spiral or criss-cross method. Nice little engines. I once had a 1951 Statesman. Great cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
