Hello, i have a 1977 15hp johnson that i think needs a new head gasket due to half power and steam rolling out of the motor. The water flow is ok when motor is cold but once it warms up it the flow becomes a very slight drip. So anyways when i put on a new head gasket, i am going to need the info on what to torque the bolts to as well as the rotation of the bolts. Can anyone help me out. LOL i just hope this will fix it.:( :confused:

Thanks,
Ron 3

Normal bolt rotation, clockwise to tighten.
Check/Deck head - make sure it is flat.
Sorry, no torque spec.
