Kohler Head Torque Specifications

Torque Matters

• Over-tightened bolts can cause as much damage and injury as bolts left too loose. Always tighten bolts to factory specifications. Kohler engines can require as much as 400 foot-pounds of torque. Torque is a measurement of the energy released under a specific pressure. The torque wrench itself has graduated measurements you can follow as you tighten the bolt.

Follow the Specifications

• Use your specific machine's model and serial number to determine the correct torque range for your engine.

Check and Double Check

• Check each bolt and nut with the torque wrench during final assembly. Stay within the manufacturer range for safe operation.
