Can somebody tell me what I should be torquing the cylinder nuts and head bolts to on my 97 VMax 600?? Got it all back together tonight but want to make sure I got them torqued correctly.

What this don't tell you is that you need to do your torqing in two steps;

Cyl. head nut/ first 9.4 ft.lb-second 17 ft.lb

jug bolts/ 24 ft.lb

Also the torq pattern if you don;t hav it;
you may want to save this pic. too

I've had enough chevy big block head off to know everything has a pattern... I pretty much followed the pattern above, even without a diagram! Am I smart or what? LOL!! But, I don't have either bolts tightened to the proper spec... I'm a couple short on each... easy enough to fix though...
