QuestionWhat are the torques for the cylinder head, the connecting rods, and the main bearings ?
AnswerIt looks like you need the model a mechanics handbook by les andrews. It's a great book and we all have them.
The head bolts should be torqued to 55 ft.#, but be very careful of the goose neck bolts in the front. I just go to 45 on those and hope I don't crack the casting. I don't use a gasket under the g/neck, just permetex or something like that. Make sure the surfaces are flat and true, then go easy. There is a sequence that the bolts should be torqued. It's in the handbook.
On the rods, the book says 35 ft #
The main cap bolts are 80 ft#.
Good luck and have fun with that A.

I just noticed your question on the book.
MARC has it for sure. Snyders has it and I think most model A parts suppliers have it. If you need more, let me know.
