Last year my 95 vmax 600 head gasket would pop alittle when started up then after that it smelled like it was burning some coolent. So the first thing I want to do this year is replace the gasket. Anyone know what to torque the heat bolts to? Should I used thread locker? Should I torque the head down start it up and warm it up then torque it again?
I did order a service manual, but won't have by the time I need it.
Thank, Any help would be great.

Cylinder head torque is a 2 step method 14 ft lbs then 22ft lbs torque. You could heat cycle it and check it, No threadlocker required.
