123 torque specs

Mike Jenkins · Aug 30, 2008

I need to know the torque specs for the head, rods and mains. Weberstractorworks.com only shows head at 80 ftlbs and manifold at 20ftlbs. Searches have come up with head torque specs ranging from 65 to 80 ftlbs and rod specs from 45 to 49ftlbs. I kept turning up my torque wrench on the rods and they did not move until I went over 60ftlbs. So what's the general consensus?

Those rod bolts have the cotter pins in right? I torque them to 45# then tighten until the cotter pin goes in. Never loosen to get the pin in.

IH updated the head bolts to 80 ftlb years ago. 45 on the rods.

No cotter pins on the rods, I guess these are called self locking nuts.
