Default Torque setting lawn mower head bolts

On May 16, 9:45 am, " wrote:
I have a Murray lawn mower (No instruction manual) with a 6HP, B&S
engine, from which I removed the head, so as to put a Helicoil insert
in the stripped out plug hole.

The information on the engine cowling is:-

Model = 12H802

Type = 3172-B1

I would appreciate it if someone would either, tell me what the torque
value for the head bolts should be, or, point me to a place where I
might find that info?

TIA

Lewis.

Or you could just use 3 finger pull on a relatively short ratchet.
