This is addition to my previous post. After looking deeper into this, it looks like the head itself is different from the 94 to the 95. As far as I can see mine is a 95 and should be torqued to 120 ft. lbs. plus a 1/4 turn. Attached is a pic of the head. I would appreciate someone verifying that.

Topgun, pointed out to me that it is INCH POUNDS NOT FOOT POUNDS.

https://maxrules.com/fixforcetorque.php Check out this link to MasterTech Marine.....they give torque values for Chrysler and Force engines...according to them the cylinder head bolts need 225 in lbs. They also have the correct torque sequence for tightening.

There are many on there, this one is just an example. As JerryJerry would say, much better than Seloc or Clymer....more detail.

225 in. pounds
or 18ft.pounds

IF??? you crank them to 120# your gonna risk stripping out the
soft aluminum threads in the block.

Jerry, don’t you mean if I crank them to 225 I risk damaging the block?
