Head Torque

Posted by James T Axman On 2009/7/1 5:41:49

Does anyone know the lbs of torque for (new head gasket) nuts on a 282 (*straight 8) (1936_120B) or where I can find the settings reference, AND is there a special sequence of torquing the head nuts (as with other vehicles)?

I've inspected the pistons, cylinders, valves, etc cleaned up the piston tops,etc... have a new head gasket,cleaned the passages, using the old thick washers and ready to reinstall.

got some new head nuts from Merritt and ready to reinstall the head. Does anyone recommend additional sealant for the head gasket, or just bare as is?

Thanks for your help
