Re: 1971 chrysler 70 hp head bolt torque specs
When I worked at the dealer in the 80's the factory rep said not to worry about an inch pound wrench.
They said 20 was ok if it was tourqed in sequence and increments.14/17/20
The Snap-on and Mack guy back then was charging way more than I could afford for an inch pound wrench.
I think it was about $180 back then???
HARBOR FREIGHT 21 bucks! sweet.
I did exactly that,and when i went to re-tighten them only one moved slightly. Thanks for the quick reply.
now i have trouble with the engine bogging and stalling,I think due to gunk in the fuel tank and lines and a bad bulb and check valve in line.after getting back i found so much crud in the filter I just gotta start from scratch and pull both tanks and all the lines
Also...lol
I changed the gear oil and found a lot of what looked like water in the oil. pumped new fluid through till it was fairly clean then refilled to level. when i got back from the lake i see that same milky oily substance coming from weep holes? except I read if it smells like gas,it's supposed to come out the small weep holes under the top oil screw. I thought it was some kind of freeze plug and was going to epoxy it closed. I have the manual but it says nothing of these holes leaking milky gassy oil.
I'll pull the lower screw tomorrow just to be sure, but I have a feeling of doubt when it comes to what i'll find next. I'd be lucky to find the lower unit for a 1971 70 hp Chrysler.
