I have my 2.3 Ford/OMC engine all torn apart. I got water in the oil that came in through the exhaust riser. It is in a 1987 searay boat. I have all the new gaskets and the head is currently out being machined but I need to know if there is a certain pattern to torque the head bolts and what torque value to put them at?
Thanks in advance if someone can help me with this info.
And just curious but is this a common place to see failures? the Gasket and the metal where the exhaust manifold meets the exhaust riser corroded and allowed water to come back into #4 cylinder.
