Hey, does anyone have information on the proper sequence of torquing a 1967 6hp Evinrude cylinder head? (which bolts do start off with and which tighten last?)
My lovely wife did some cleaning up in the garage and now I can't find my Evinrude factory service manual for that motor and the Seloc manual I have does not mention the proper sequence just the torque range.

Any help would be great!

Start at the middle right and go across then up and keep going clockwise until finished. I always start with about 1/2 the torque and finish with a second pass. Best of luck. Rick.

The figure, below, is for a 1974 Johnson 6hp cylinder head. As Rick indicated, its just a clockwise circular pattern, starting at the middle, right of the head. This same pattern is used for torquing outboard cylinder heads, in general.

Once you have run the engine for the first time after reinstalling the head, let it cool and retorque the head once more.
