Head bolt torque specs for Kohler?

I've spent way too much time looking for torque specs for my 20 hp kohler command. Does anyone know what they are?

Any pointers would be nice too. I've replaced head gaskets on briggs, Farmall C, Dodge slant sixes. So this shouldn't be a big deal, I hope.
Thanks,
George
 
WWW.kohlerplus.com. enter as a 'guest'. Look up your engine, service manual should be at the bottom of the page.
 
My computer couldn't pull up kohlerplus. I did go to Kohler home page, worked my way through manuals. They didn't show my engine model. So I just opened an engine I though was close to mine. Then it showed mine.
Torques 200 in-# first torque
Then 370 in-# second torque.

Do you heat up engine and then check the last torque settings? Many times in the past, especially with my Farmall C, it took 6 times before the head bolts didn't change torque.

THANKS.

Yes, that is correct for head bolts.

If you have studs with nuts, its 150 in/lb. then 315 the second time.

I torque in that order. In the last 7 years I have not had an engine come back because of headgasket failure.
