    torque specs 97 johnson 90 hp

    Would anyone happen to know what the head bolt and water jacket cover bolt torque specs are for a 97 Johnson 90 hp V4 (J90TSLEUA). Book is on order but will be a bit before it comes in. Motor is ready to go back together. Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the BBC.

    The head bolts torque to 18 to 20 foot pounds, I don't remember the exhaust plate bolt values.....I just snug them up good with a drip of Loktite before installation.

    Thank you very much. The other is the water cover bolt. Would that be the same torque spec as the bolts on the exhaust cover?

    The 1/4-20 exhaust and water cover bolts are 5-7 ft lbs or 60-84 in lbs.
