Hello
I am new to this tractor forum and have a question for anyone with kioti tractor experience or knowledge.I have a lk3054 , 3 cyl diesel and have to replace the head gasket.I have the shop manual for this tractor and it has no reference to "torque to angle" head bolts and the local Dealership only gave me standard torque 75,4 to 76.9 ftlbc.My shop manual states 57.4 50 61.9 ftlbs.Neither the dealership or my manual mentioned torque to angle head bolts until i said something to the dealership and the parts manager said that they were torque to angle head bolts .The dealership said just pick halfway between the torque settings and it should be good.At 46 dollars for the head gsk and 4.49 dollars per each head bolt i dont want to take a chanc .Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Gary
