Torque specs for a Inline 6 223"

Post by azratrod »

I've torn down my '64 Inline 6 223" motor for a good cleaning, gaskets, and pumps. I'm curious if anyone has the torque specs for this motor so I don't over/under tighten anything. The motor has never been rebuilt and only has 67k on it. So it shouldnt take much. Thanks!

exhaust manifold: 23-28
rocker arm shaft bracket: 45-55
rocker arm cover: 4-7
connecting rod cap bolts: 40-45

Hope that helps!
