Torque and clearance specs

Need torque and clearance specs for my Deuce. Just exploded a sleeve, it took out a piston, and bugered up the head pretty good. Tried to download a TM, but keep getting Adobe Acrobat errors. Will buy a TM soon, no problem with that, but I need info ASAP. Truck is in mechanic's garage and he needs info to rebuild. I would assume I need:
Head bolt torque
Rod cap torque
Piston ring end gap
Piston to sleeve clearance
Pan bolt torque
And any other measurements he may need.

Thank You to anyone that helps in advance!

Right click on the file and save it to your computer. Then open the file and you should be golden. There is some kind of glitch where it won't open them of you click on the link, but it will allow you to save them.

Also, there are many head gaskets for the 465 series and each gasket has it's own torque value. Your gasket set should have some instructions with it.

I believe the latest style gasket calls for 158 ft. lbs, but don't quote me on that
