Default Re: Head gasket?

Hallo Werner, Viele Grüße. Wir haben kein Umlaut on diese "Ami" Maschinen. Kein ess auch. Aber, what Brent was talking about , as I understand it, was that 55 Lbs torque (25 kilos, I believe) was all that you can use without distorting the head and/or the engine block. Using more torque will damage head or block. I always assumed I could use 60Lbs with the first and second torquing and go back to 55Lbs after as the gasket compresses.
