Default Stud torque on Brodix heads
Hey guys I am using the Brodix Race Rite 200 heads on my 383. It has the 7/16 x 7/16 rocker studs does anybody know what the torque is supposed to be for these studs on an aluminum head?

Why is the spec on studs less than the spec on bolts?

He's talking about rocker studs not head studs.

And since ALL screw in SBC rocker studs are 7/16" thread, there is no need for a different torque spec.

RACE ON!!!
