Re: torque specs for 90 horse merc

connecting rod nuts- first torque at 15 inch pounds, the redo at 30 foot pounds.check rod cap alignment after 30 pounds, and if all is good, turn nut 1/4 more turns.<br /><br />crank case cover- fisrt torque 25 lbs, then second torque at 165 inch pounds. do the final torque in 3 small steps.<br /><br />manual doesnt say anything about water jackets, but ifyou are talking about the exjhaust manifold covers, then do this....180 inch pounds.<br /><br />all of this is per my trusty CLYMER manual, WICH YOU NEED TO BUY, YOU CHEEP AZZ!!! go spend the 25 bucks, man!!!
