[george3405]

Thank you everybody for helping me solve my engine problem. I do not have a manual at hand here, but I just need the torque specs and tightening sequence for my 1989 48spl engine. I am replacing a worn out head gasket.

Thanks again for evrything!

Cylinder head bolt torque is 216 to 240 inch pounds. In foot pounds, that would be 18 to 20 foot pounds. Sequence as follows:

9...10

5....6

1....2

4....3

8....7
