Does anyone with know the in or foot pounds needed for a CR85 head bolt?

I was told that our losing coolant problem could be either a head gasket or even that the bolts aren't tightened properly (we've already replaced the radiator cap).

The head nuts are to be at 20ft. Check the head for warpage or it could also be the base gasket

I was told by Eric Gorr that the CR85 has a head torque issue but don't recall the specifics of the issue. He did tell me to NOT remove the head from they cylinder if at all possible when changing the rings but to slide the cylinder with head attached off as a unit. I'll look up the torque spec in my factory manual this evening (if I don't forget) and post them. It does sound like you may already have a warpage issue though.

How do you check the head for warpage? If it is warped, does that mean you need a new head?
