I pulled the heads on my 00 ZR700 to replace head gasket and need the spec on tightening the bolts, I heard 23-26ft lbs? Also what is the procedure for bleading the coolant system after replacing the o'rings in the heads?

39coupe.
Arctic Cat torque Specification for 00 ZR 700.
Cylinder head 13-20ft-lbs
As for the bleeding I would recommend elevating frontend a foot, run till thermostat opens and draws down level in the resevior, then refill, Go for short putt and recheck.
I personally like the above mentioned method.
There are many methods out there.
Some people like the rocking it from side to side tactic.
hope this helps, Catalyze.
