1960s 1962 390 Torque settings and head bolt tightening sequence

[rustytractor]

Would anyone have a copy of the page which shows the torque settings and head bolt tightening sequence for a '62 390 or is there a resource somewhere which has this online?

I know I have a manual somewhere but for the life of me I can't find it and I want to refit the rebuilt heads on my Miller Meteor Hearse tomorrow.

I assume the torque settings will be the same as the 365 engine up but wanted to make sure.

Thanks guys

From my Motors Manual '61-'62 same. Cylinder head bolts @75 ft. pounds
First attachment is sharper if you can open PDF

Thats great, thanks for this. It's funny - when you read something back you realise you didn't word it as clearly as you meant to. Do you also have the page that shows all the engine Torque settings? I have this from a '58 365 but wasn't certain that all the settings would be the same.

I would hope some Cadillac Club members would be more willing to provide with technical info when asked instead of so much concentration on forum member riddance and fretting over ridiculous spam attempts.
I am always willing to help, but will no longer be able to offer in the near future.
Here you go, good luck.
This should be added to your notes:      VIBRATION DAMPER is @ 110 lbs
Let me know if you have trouble with PDF.

Yes, you'll have to scroll down past some ads to see everything.
