Mercruiser 3.0 1998 Torque Specs

I am removing and repairing the cylinder head on my 3.0 1998 Mercruiser. Does anyone have the torque specs for the head bolts? Engine serial # 0L047514. I would greatly appreciate it.

Awesome. Thank you so much. Do you know if the head bolts need to be replaced each time you remove them?

No, they do not need to be replaced. They are not Torque to yield bolts.
