Looking at the Clymer manual it shows cylinder head bolts to be torqued to 106 in-lbs. That converts to 8.8333333 ft-lbs. That seems barely tighter than hand tight ??

Can this be right ????????

Wrong number! I believe it should be 33 ft-lbs according to the Honda Service Manual. I would be reading more.  Roll Eyes
