Well shame on me. When I got this boat the engine was siezed, so I poured all kinds of gunk into it to free it up, eventually with the use of a pry bar I got the engine to take its first steps towards life. After a few other new parts were installed, she purred like a kitten, and I was on the water. Howerever, flash foward to today. I did a compression test, and I got 120 on the 2 outside cylinders, and only 35 on the 2 inside ones. Just this morning, I pulled the valve cover for the first time. There was a broken push rod laying there. (This probably happened, when I forced the engine to free up). Next up I am starting to remove the head, but I am a little lost. I see there are 10 bolts that have to be removed, and here are my actual questions. What is the recommeneded torque settings for installation, what is the tightening pattern? I'll be sending the head out to check it for being warped, and have the valves looked at the same time. Yes I am replacing the head gasket, as that seems to be the general consensus of whats wrong. While the head is off, I will do a good look see of the pistons as well.
