head bolt torque/pattern ... please

[coolbikeguy]

hey guys. i posted before about low compression in my left band of cylinders so i picked up a new head gasket as suggested and figured id give that a try and hopefully get better numbers..... i need to know if there is a certain tightening pattern for the head bolts ?? just criss cross evenly ? and whats the torque value for the head bolts ? this is for a 1975 johnson 135 hp .... mod# 135ETL75E thanks guys

Hi there,
Any similar information for a 1965 33hp Evinrude Ski-Twin? Having a heck of a time tracking this down!
Thanks for any help!
