Hopefully the info before the crash gets on here. I need to re torque the head on my kart. Was teched according to my buddy the previous owner. Looks like I've seen that it's 140-150...is that foot pounds? Also, is there a sequence?
I always start with the bolts on either side of the wrist pin and then work my way out from there. Just my preference, not sure if that is the best way.
read jimmy glens book its th bible man . its all in there withoutvhavin to look at models no one alive has ever seen best motor tool ive bought for a flat head
Front Center, rear center, left rear, right front, right rear, left front, left center, right center. (As the engine sits on the kart -- looking at it from behind the kart - if that makes any sense to you.) That's the order I torque them in; 10"# at a time up to 135"# with the Briggs or other soft graphite style head gaskets. I only go to 150"# if I'm using the Burris (Honda style) metal head gasket and be sure that you finish hone the cylinder with a torque plate torqued to the appropriate amount for the gasket that you are using.
