fireengine · 11-09-2007

Hi, I have a 1966 200ci and will replace the head gasket, because of oil and gas leak to cylinder #3. Does anybody know what is the head torque sequense and order to torque the head?

Thank you,

Hiya and welcome. I see this is your first post.
The torque sequence is as follows:

(<--- front of engine) 9 5 1 3 7
................8 4 2 6 10

Remember to torque them down in 3 steps, back them off, and then torque them down again.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, this is my first post. I have been working in my 66 mustang for a while now, but still don't know a lot of the stuff.

when you say front of engine do you mean from the front to the back and these number represent the number for each bolt to torque. can you please provide more details. Thank you a bonch.
