4A-LC head bolt torque?

[bigmacker]

Hey guys! I'm hoping someone can tell me what the head bolts need to be torqued at on my 85 Corolla 4A-LC... or even direct me to a link which would have this info. I've done a search but can't find any specs for this engine. Thanks I'd really appreciate it!

my old chilton says 40-47 ft/lbs for the 85 4A-LC

Thanks that gives me some re-assurance! I already torqued er down after finding out another 4A-X engine was 44 ft-lbs so I went with that while crossing my fingers. Don't know whether the new gasket worked or not because it still seems to blow white smoke but at least all 4 cylinders are firing!

Thanks again,
Mack
