Sorry, I meant to say foot pounds.  Still, it is much more than that.

So all the 6mm bolts in the head cover.  Those should be 12lb ft if memory serves correctly.  I don't have the manual in front of me.

I made a template out of cardboard to remember exactly where each one goes.  I would not put a cheater bar or breaker bar on those.  Soak with some penetrating oil overnight.

the 9mm bolts are torqued to 21-24 lbft
the 8mm bolts are torqued to 17-20 lbft

if you are not using new copper washers, you need to anneal them.

apply oil to the bolt and nut threads before you torque them.

use a criss cross pattern.

Got it.  I was just worried about what seemed like very tight 9mm cylinder head bolts.

Y’all got me confused.  Are you talking about the bolts securing the head cover (as I showed above)?  Or are you talking about the 4 nuts on the long 9mm cylinder head studs?
