What is the torque for head bolts on '99 200hp Ficht and is there a torque pattern?<br />My engine manual suggest this be checked after 100hrs of use, is this necessary?
YES IT IS NECESSARY AND YES THERE IS A TORQUE PATTRN . START IN THE CENTER AND WORK YOUR WAY OUT IN A CIRCULAR PATTERN EX. 3 4<br /> 1 2<br /> 5 6<br />NOT THE BEST PIC BUT I AM KNOW ARTIST I AM A MECHANIC.THE TORQUE SHOULD BE 22-24 FTLBS.
I WILL TRY BUT THE WAY IT SHOWS IN THE POST AND THE WAY I TYPED IT DOESN'T MATCH ANYWAY HERE GOES .#1 BOLT WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HEAD IF PIC WON'T WORK DO THIS.START IN CENETR OF HEAD AND DO THOSE TWO,THEN THE TWO ABOVE THE MIDDLE,THEN THE TWO BELOW THE MIDDLE FOLLOW THIS PATTERN TILL FINISHED.<br /><br />3 4<br />1 2<br />5 6
