Stihl 026 head bolt torque?

[Okie294life]

I’m putting new seals and top end hyway titanickel on an 026. Even got a new intake boot since the saws 40 years old. What’s the correct head bolt torque OEM using a gasket? I usually run stuff to 80 inch lb with no loctite. Is that in the range for this saw?

I just crank them down as tight as a t handle wrench will get them, or I'll put a 14mm wrench on a hex key as a cheater pipe and tighten them till they stop moving.

5mm spline screw 10.5 NM, 7.7 FtLbs

Or good and snug twisting your wrist.

Post some pictures of the insides of the jug and the piston. We here are curious about aftermarket quality.

I’ll see what I can do since it is a new design I was kinda curious myself. The inside and piston look good nice and glossy, the fins lack a little fit and finish but nothing alarming

It came with what looks like heat shields is that right? Don’t see these on the saw? Look like muffler heat shields?
