I am about to replace the gaskets for the rocker boxes on my '14 Ultra. Do any of you have a spec sheet/instructions with the torque values?

 

Just for clarification; rocker boxes or rocker box covers?

 

Covers.

 

Service manual says 15-18 ft.lb. but I never use a torque wrench on those fasteners. I snug them down pretty tight and then add another 1/2 to full turn. Rarely have a leak but if there is a leak, I go back and add another 1/2 turn on each fastener. When done, I might have hit the service manual recommended torque, don't know but I have found that it is best to stay on the low end of the specified torque range to avoid stripping threads.

 

What about the metal gasket? Torque value and pattern? I could have been clearer in what I was asking.

 

I am doing the bottom and top gaskets, front and back. Is there somewhere I can download the instructions and torque values?

 

Most popular head gasket is the Cometic MLS gasket; it comes instructions and torque values. Rocker box gaskets torque to 120-180in.lb. if IIRC. I don't know anyplace other than the service manual (you shoud have one) to find all the HD torque values. Some have changed from model year to model year.

 

Thanks. That is the brand of gaskets I have on the way.
