I need to adjust the valves on my 206.8 engine. Can someone tell me the torque spec. for the headbolts? Also, any thoughts on torqueing hot or cold?
Thanks,
Richard

If you are using the original head bolts, the torque specs. are 50 to 60 pounds max.

Are you planning to re-torque the head before adjusting your valves?

Yes, I am and yes, I did. All but two were spot on.
