Hello all,<br />This is my first post so please bear with me.<br /><br />Could anyone please tell me what the head bolts on my outboard should be torqued to and in what pattern?I had to heli-coil one of my spark plug holes and am replacing the head gasket.<br /><br />Also I'm looking for the tiller arm and throttle assembly for the same motor.It was originally installed in the hull of a sailboat which they used the rudder to steer with.I have the original parts to pull upwards to start it and the stumpy throttle control(trade?).<br /><br />Thanks for any help,<br />Charlie

108 in/lbs (9 ft/lbs), in three rounds (1/2, 3/4, full torque). Start in the center and criss cross to the ends; top and bottom. Put nothing on the head gasket, but lube your bolts for an accurate torque. <br />You should get yourself a manual. It is an *extremely* worthwhile investment. I've got a Seloc for those years & I'm happy with it.
