The head gasket went on my compressor (NorthStar 45924A) and I have a new set of gaskets on the way. The question I have is what are the torque specs for the head, intercooler and aftercooler bolts?

Also, when I removed the head and inspected the valve plate, one of the valves looked dirty (see pics). Is this a sign that something is wrong with the valve? I plan on soaking it in kerosene to clean it up. Should I remove the valve from the plate to further clean it up?

Thanks!

I just tried to put my pump back together and I noticed the gaskets in the kit do not fit my compressor (45924A). I looked at the picture of the gasket kit that I purchased ( Gasket kit ; zoomed pic of the kit attached) and see that they are different from the gaskets I received. Specifically, I did not receive the two intercooler “rectangular” gaskets in the attached picture (the rectangular gaskets with the round hole). Also, the head and valve plate gaskets, while similar to my original gaskets, are smaller (see other pics showing original and new gaskets side-by-side and on top of each other). The number on the kit I received is 53N0056 – did I receive the wrong kit?

Edit - Looks like I did receive the wrong kit. This is what I received Received kit . Is the correct kit still available?
