Head Torque Values

[fuzzeywiggler]

Im looking for the torque values for my 1969 55hp inline three head.
MN-55ESL690
SN-C6O1666

Im thinking 122"lbs-128"lbs is this correct? If anyone has this motor or similar motor can you let me know as im hoping to get out on the water once or twice more this season.

18 to 20 foot pounds (216 to 240 inch pounds) in the following sequence.

9.....10
5......6
1......2
4......3
8......7
12...11 (Continue on in an ever increasing circle.)

Re: Head Torque Values

Thank you very much for the numbers.

The only thing I would add for anyone else needing to do this is to do it in three steps 1/2 of the final torque value 3/4 of the final torque value and then full torque always going in an every expanding circle.

Thanks again Joe you are one of the most knowledgeble guys on here.

Re: Head Torque Values

And of course, as you stste..... the torquing must be done in stages. I neglected to insert that fact. Thanks for bringing it up.
