to 72 in.-lbs. as illustrated in Picture 6.

present, torque the breather bolts down 10 -12 ft.-lbs. If a gap of
more than the thickness of a rubber coated washer is present,
determine how much and select the appropriate number of
rubber coated washers needed to take up the gap.

10. If more than one rubber coated washer is needed between the

head and backplate, back out the breather bolts and install the
correct number of rubber coated washers.

10-12 ft.-lbs.
