Could some give me the torque value in Nm for the screws 2 and 3 of the cylinder head.
I have the service manual but for the 96" I don't know if the values are the same.

finger tight
13.6-16.3 nm
20.3-23.0 nm
grease pencil mark line
turn additional 1/4 turn or 90 deg

OK

so it's the same value than the "normal" one.
Thank you!

Assumption is this motor is going together with stock head gaskets

Because if you're planning to use Cometic gaskets, you'd be wise to use the Cometic recommended torque values...

I use stock head gasket because I just do the front cylinder (valves were bent because of a mistake).
I don't need to use Loctite?

No! Light oil on threads and a drop or two under the head bolt flange.

Just guessing, but the site member is from France and is likely more familiar with nm vs. ft lbs.

Mr John DEUFF · « **Reply #12 on:** May 01, 2013, 03:09:33 AM »

OK effectively I didn't understood you were talking of ft/pounds, so 42 Nm was really a lot compared to the other recommendation!

I also believe that Kirby is refering to those numbers in use with Cometic gaskets.

cometic is all we use,but the same #`s can be used for any gaskets
