Anybody know off the top of their head what the torque spec is for the rocker arm studs on the LT1. I'm putting 1.6 RR with 7/16 studs, but I can't find anywhere what to torque them to and I want to be carefull with these aluminum heads.

Thanks

Oh one other thing, do you use anti-sieze?

My L98 heads had steel inserts in the rocker stud holes so anti-sieze wasn't required.

i actually used red locktite. I was getting tired of them loosening up when i adjusted the valves.

95-383

The spec for the rocker studs is 50 ft lbs. I use sealer on the threads.

50 lbs/ft is it, and I second the motion on the Teflon sealer.

BTW, I posted this question on another thread: What other white sealer might work? I have seen *many* different white Teflon sealants at Home Depot, Lowes etc..

i guess the AFRs are differnt than the stock heads. No sealer needed on the AFRs
