Re: evinrude 1982 70hp
My pleasure! I'm glad that you decided to pull the head...this way you'll be sure you get all of that crud out of both sides of the head.
18-20 ft-lbs on the head bolts in the following order:
17>18
13>14
7>8>9>10
1>2
6<5<4<3
12<11
16<15
(the cylinder head cover uses 1/4-20's...only torque those to 65-80 inch-pounds)
make sure the surfaces are clean...an Irwin razor blade and lacquer thinner work great.
After cleaning off the gasket residue, I dress the head using emery cloth taped to a boat windshield :lol:
lastly, these gaskets probably don't require sealer...if they're sticky, shiny and/or marked "Do Not Use Sealer", install as-is.
Retorque the head after a few heating/cooling cycles.

Thanks for all the help. I bit the bullit and pulled the head.The bottom half of the head and block was caked with salt corrosion. The pistons and cylinders look good. My motor looks the same as yours. Do you happen to have the torque specs and order for the head.
