Does anyone have the correct ft/lbs of torque for the head bolts and what the pattern is for tightening the bolts on a PV 15? Thanks in advance!

I don,t have a sheet for an engine that old but first get a torque sheet from a hardware store or wherever & then check the stud (bolt size you have & then start torquing the center row bolts starting in the center & then alternate toward both ends & then go to the outside bolts & start at the center & go each way from the center & left & right with the torquing.Now only go half torque the first time around & also if you have smaller studs & bigger ones the 2nd. time around go to the final torque specs according to the sheet on the big stds. first & then do the smaller size ones last. You could go around to each one the third time to the recommended torque spec. to check that they are all the same.Some guys after the engine has been run for a period of time the recheck the torque to the specs. If you can,t obtain a torque sheet then give me the diameter of the studs (bolts) & I,ll look it up for you.
