Can anyone help me with this . A friend has a 88 inch S&S  in a Indian Chief, and the front head gasket is leaking. I will also replace the base gasket, for good measure. I need to know the torque sequence, and #'s for total torque, and does it require a 90 degree twist, like a EVO ? Thanks....

It may say S&S on it, but's an Evo in almost every sense of the word.  So, in my opinion, use the Evo sequence.  I would use either HD method, or the aftermarket 4 steps to 42 lbs/ft.   

My buddy has a V107 or V113 (I forget which).  Same method as HD.

Rageglide, many thanks for your help. I think will do the 4 steps to 42#. Thanks again.
