Had a few tiny beads of water seeping from the cyl head side of the copper head gasket when i used the seagull today. I took the head of, and the gasket was a bit dirty and tarnished. So i cleaned it up like new and refitted it. I just want to know whats the cyl head tightening torque Ft pounds or NM.

"they" used to say do it up until it strips and then back off a quarter of a turn....
I'm not suggesting you do though.
At least the water indicates there is water with pressure in there. It usually leaks out and not in, I wouldn't worry too much.
