Terry: Start tightening the head in the center; then, do the next two toward the front, then the next two toward the rear, etc. You will finish up with the very front and very back bolts (or studs) last. In other words, start in the middle and work out both ways from there. My M book is at the farm, but I think the head torques to 75 lbs. Close enough anyway. Torque in three steps; 25lbs, 50lbs and 75lbs. As far as the posssibility of broken ring(s), turn #4 piston to bottom dead center. Inspect cylinder walls for unusual vertical scratched places. Often, but not always, a broken ring will scratch a cylinder wall. If in doubt, tear it down and fix it right. Cheapest way in the long run. Good luck. mike
