what is the torque rating for a set of 5.3 heads?

 

final tq. on heads 73-75 if not mistaken

 

does it matter to do a 90 degree turn after i tq. it once

 

All the answers to rebuilding the motor can be found in the Hilton's manual. It is important to get these torque specs correct.

 

Jeez, i hate to have you guys rebuilding my engine! Its, alright everyones got to learn.
+1 on the manual. lots of simple but very important things to pick up in there!

Very important to follow torque-turn specs. Bolt stretch and resulting clamping force are key, initial torque is only 22ft lbs.

I just did a post on this, you can read up, but still no excuse to not buy a manual if you are as far as having the heads off.
