According to my briggs book, castiron cylinder, model # 19, 190000,200000,23,230000,240000,300000,and320000 all go to 190inch lbs 219 kilogram meter, 2147 Newton Meter, depending on what part of the world your in I guess. Hope that helps

Torque them in specified sequence, and don't confuse INCH pounds with FOOT pounds.

thanks Dutch, I forgot to mention the sequence. If you need that info Shane I will attempt to scan it and post the pic from my book. MPH manybe this will help, from the center bolt on the straight side of the head, looking at it from the top, going clockwise, center bolt, #2, #3, #7, #6, #1, #9, #4, #8,#5. Sorry if your all confussed, I understand what I did. hahahaha
