Head bolt torque settings?

[RickyC83]

Any one know the torque settings for my 1980 cb650z head bolts?
The manual says 12mm bolts at 8-10 kgf m. I tryed to convert that to Newton meters and it came out at 88. Pretty sure that's not right.

Ok so I realise that there not 12mm bolts that's just the socket size. Ther m8. Torque setting in Newton meters is 28nm.

Sorry don't work in this new fangled metric, whats that in good old Ft lbs?

The 8mm bolts are 24-30N.m / 17-22 ft-lb
The 6mm bolts are 10-14N.m / 7-10 ft-lb
tighten the bolts in 2-3 steps in the following number sequence:
with exhaust facing you numbers are from left to right inlet side
12 8 4 2 6 10
with exhaust facing you numbers are from left to right exhaust side
11 7 1 3 5 9
Just start at no 1 and follow through.........................
