Hi,<br /><br />Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the cylinder head bolts and also the cyclinder head side cover on a 1991 Mercury 75 outboard?<br /><br />many thanks,<br /><br />Alex
You don't have a cylinder head on the smaller Merc's. It's a water jacket cover) and referred to as a "Cylinder Head Cover" Torque for the 75 for '97 up 3 cyl is 18 ft-lbs. Assume yours is the same. No reason to change.
