Guys i lost my haynes manual and need to retorque head bolts after rebuilt. Can someone please post for me head bolt torque specs as per haynes. Thank you!
Specs in the FAQ under repair manuals. 2 different repair manuals, one for pre 80 and another for post 80.
Anyway, I think it's something like 3 steps. First torque to 35ftlbs then wait 15 minutes then torque to 45 ftlbs and then wait 15 minutes. Run the engine up to operating temps and then let cool and toque it back to 45ftlbs.
I've also read other instructions that you do the first to torques and then the last one you torque to yield like 30 degrees. Maybe someone else will chime in on what they did.

Engine Cold overnight at least
stage 1 25 to 33 ft lbs
stage 2 43 to 47 ft lbs
stage 3 49 to 52 ft lbs
Torque in proper sequence (from the bottom center then up one-then going outwards diagonally) , make sure the concave part of the washers is up for even Torque
8-6-2-4-10
9-3-1-5-7
