Torque values

[CampionGuy]

One last thing to do after replacing the head gasket on my 1988 3.7litre Mercruiser. Does anyone have the torque values for the bolts which fasten the exhaust elbow/coolant resevoir to the manifold? I have a Clymer manual and I can't find the specs.....the only damn one too.

Thanx,
Doug

Ayuh,......

If they're 3/8",........ 35ft.lbs......

If they're 7/16",........ 45ft.lbs........

Re: Torque values

What's the difference, when using a Clymers manual, the specs for every thing else were probably wrong anyway.
