Evinrude 1985 70HP Head Torque and Order.

Just replaced the head gasket on my 70HP Evinrude. It is the one that has 18 bolts on the head. Can anyone tell me the torque value for the head bolts in Newton Meters and the order to torque in. Thanks.

Torque them to 27.11 Nm, in a clockwise, circular fashion, starting in the middle, similar to the following. Most of us prefer the measurement in ft/lbs

9....................10
5....................6
1....................2
4....................3
8....................7
