Author Topic: 400 head-bolt torque specs? (Read 1788 times)

Found I have a couple of loose ones. The manual I have says 15 ft lb +/-. Seems a little anemic to me- is that right?

my copy says, lightly oiled threads 14.5 lbs/ft

Thanks Malcolm.
Are you a fellow GB500 person, or does GB stand for something else?

Hi Ernie, Malcolm is right at 14.5 lbs-ft for the 8mm bolts and for any 6mm bolts it is 5 - 8 lbs-ft. best wishes, John.

On my 400f motors I torque the head to 18 ft.lb, this is what Kaz Yoshima recomended in his day.
