The specs for your motor are 60-84Inch-Pounds BUT the cylinder head bolts must be tightened in the proper sequence. If you need a manual, try the link below:

Drill down to: Small Engines, Marine/Boat Motors, Evinrude/Johnson and then select the second file from the top; Outboard 10HP (1955-1963) which also contains 7.5HP data.

Good luck with that great old motor!

EDIT: I just went through that manual and it does not contain the sequence. Will keep looking. Meanwhile, maybe another forum member can provide that info.

Roger that, INCH-POUNDS! Here's the sequence from an OMC manual for my 6HP:

9 10

5 6

1 2

4 3

8 7

EDIT: The system took out my spacing so you could compare them with the cylinder head. FYI, No. 9&10 are the top two, 1&2 middle, 7&8 bottom and 3&4/5&6 widest outside bolts.

OMC recommends you re-torque all bolts after running the motor at normal operating temperature AND after the motor has cooled. Hope this helps.
