Torque specification

[Justin21]

I have an 11 and a half hp Briggs and Stratton engine. The model # is 28D707. The type # is 0123-01 and the code number is 960119ZB. I need to know what to torque the head bolts down too. Please help.

Thank you very much. Did you find that info from the Haines repair manual?

Whether you are putting your equipment away for the season or needing to replace a part, locate your equipment or engine manual to get the information specific to your product.

I usually go here and type the model and type number is, and download the owners manual, they usually give the Amrature (ignition coil) air gap, valve clearances and torque specs.

I have Briggs manuals for most of their engines, as well as a large spec chart. For those who don’t have these materials, you can just type in Briggs torque specs or Briggs valve clearance into google search. A lot faster than waiting for an answer.

Except accurate torque wrenches ( deflecting bar ) are marked in 5 unit increments
So using an inch pound torque wrench will be closer to the specified torque then trying to set a foot lb torque wrench.

And note I used the word accurate
I know you can go out & buy a spring loaded torque wrench marked in 1/10 foot pounds but none of them are accurate by the time they leave the factory let alone after being in a toll box, left loaded for x years.
