Hi All
Had to pull the head on my dads M to get the valves done and have it checked out. I was wondering if somebody could tell me what order the head bolts would have to be put in and tightened? Also what to torque the head bolts to and what to start to torque them at and work the way up to the final torque?
Also dad thinks by the looks of the pistons there has been antifreeze getting into the cylinders but it has never blown white smoke but the oil will get right black after just a few hours use after an oil change. Don't see any anitfreeze in the oil just it turning black so fast. Pulled the head in the first place because when taking compression readings of the cylinders and setting the rocker arm clearence there was all of a sudden no compression in cylinder 4. Valves needed to be done so sent the head to the machine shop to have it gone over and checked for cracks. Would it be worth the time now to pull the piston also to check for a broken ring or would a person be better off waiting to get the head back and on first then go from there?
Sorry for the long post but trying to figure out what should be done and how to do it.
Thanks for any help or comments, opnions.
Terry

Many times, as a small boy, I would cross the fence behind the house my grandparents lived in and walk down the turn row to where granddaddy would be cultivati
