Hi everybody! I hope everyone stays safe with their families. I am repairing a 2000 John Deere 310 E Backhoe. I need to know the cylinder head bolt tightening order and the torque to apply. Regards from Chile, South America. Cesar

    Make sure you are using new bolts. They are one time use bolts. Lubricate the bolts with engine oil. Initial torque is 75 lbft (100 Nm). Then 110 lbft (150 Nm). Wait 5 minutes, 110 lbft. again. Then 60 degrees. Start in the center of the head and spiral your way out to the ends of the head.
