1990 merc 7.4 head bolt torque???
I have a pre mark v 7.4l that im putting heads back on. The clymer manual says 85lbs in 3 step for both long and short bolts....this seems like its not enough??? Does anyone have these specs? Thanks for the info!!

85 ft/lbs looks about right (that's what I torqued mine to).

i got the heads back on today and boy they are heavy when your standing on your head...I can't believe that every head bolt goes into a water jacket...I figured it would be more solid that that. I sealed them all up good so hopefully i'll finish it tomorrow and get it running. Hope all is well!!
