misc force 50hp questions

[ozarkjeep]

I got the head reinstalled, I lubed the bolts as I was told, but Im curious if any of the bolts needed sealant, do any go into a "water jacket" I was unable to tell on the left side of the engine, should I pull and use silicone permatex on those or not?<br /><br />also<br /><br />Ive misplaced the nut that retains the prop.<br /><br />where can I get a replacement?<br /><br />thanks

Re: misc force 50hp questions

I checked the factory service manual. It only mentions putting anti-seize compound on the first 3/4 of each bolt. Then torque 'em down, incrementally, to 270 in/lbs. And after 15 minutes of running, torque 'em again. That's it!
