r686st Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I have a '91 RD690S as some of you may know and I'm putting new heads on it. I couldn't find out from Mack but I thought yall might know the sequence in which you torque the heads on the motor. It has a newer '96 EM7-300.

r686st Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 So we're in agreement that that you start in the center and work outward alternating bolts? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32320-order-in-which-heads-should-be-torqued/#findComment-199802 Share on other sites More sharing options...
