• These marks will be used as a guide to tighten all head bolts an addi-
tional 1/4 of a turn (or 90 degrees). See Fig. 68.
• After all 8 head bolts have been tightened an additional 1/4 turn (or
90 degrees), all 8 head bolts need to be loosened to allow seating-in
of the gaskets.
• Loosen the head bolts using the same sequence described in Fig. 66,
1/4 of a turn at a time until each is loose enough to turn with your
fingers.
• After all 8 head bolts can be turned with your fingers start the torque
sequence again.
• Torque each head bolt to 8 ft/lbs, following the sequence in Fig.66.
• Continuing in the same sequence, torque each bolt to 18 ft/lbs.
• Make a fresh mark on the head bolts as pictured in Fig. 67.
• Tighten all 8 head bolts in sequence an additional 1/4 turn or 90
degrees as pictured in Fig. 68.

STEP 10: Compression Release Installation
Preparation:
• Unwrap and clean the threads of the compression releases. See Fig.
69.
• Install the sealing washers.
• Lightly lubricate, with copper anti seize lube, the threads and sealing
washers.
• Make sure the threaded holes in the heads are clean and empty.
Installation:
• Thread a compression release into its head.
• Using your 13mm deep socket torque to 12 to 18 ft/lbs.
• Repeat for other compression release.
Note: Before proceeding, apply a small amount of moly lube to the
spark plug threads and the spark plug threads in the head, and
then thread the spark plugs a few turns into the heads.
• The purpose of this is to prevent anything from falling into the
cylinders.
• Do not torque them at this time as they will be removed to make the
engine easier to rotate during pushrod installation and adjustment.
