head bolt tourquing
i was going to start to put my heads back on tonight and i read in the manual i have and the online manual, they say that they are supposed to be tourqued to 17-19 ft pounds. this can't be right, is it? most other engines are like 60-80.

They are torqued using the angle method.
Start by oiling each bolt on the threads and seats. Tighten them 17-19 ft. lbs. and mark each bolt at the top. Now, tighten the bolts 85 - 90 degrees. After they are all tightened, do it again. The mark you made should be faceing down now. Its on page B2-102 of the manual with a diagram if you need it.
