OP jimandmark Shade Tree Mechanic Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 41 Michigan	We have had to remove the head from our 1927 Chevy Capitol Coach to have a bent exhaust valve replaced. My question is what is the proper amount of foot pounds of torque on the head bolts during reinstallation. This is the original 4 cylinder engine. Thanks for your help.
