Hi,

Looking for the torque values for the three bolts that secure the thermostat housing to the head.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks,
RogueAngel

So have I! It's not fun. I did that, got a new one and installed it, started it up and realized that the brand new one that I bought had a flawed surface so I had to "flatten" it haha. All in all, just don't overtorque the bolts and you'll be fine lol.
