Need Help!
What is the ft. lb. spec's for tightening the cylinder head nuts for the Kawasaki Motor?
Can I use the spec's I down loaded for the 1990 Kitty Cat off this site?
I know the 1990 is a different engine but are the in the ball park?
Thank you,
J. Robison

Torq specs
Yes, you may use the same torq specs. They are slightly different, but close. The one thing I'd suggest is to make several smaller increases of torq rather than one or a couple big ones. The paper gasket material on the older head gaskets are weaker and if there is a slight torq difference it can blow out the head gasket. (Example: Instead of torquing each head nut directly to 6-9 ft-lbs, do each head nut to 4lbs, then 7lbs, then 9lbs, or whatever you use as your maximum torq.) I hope this helps.
