Default torque specs for spider

What do I torque the 3 bolts holding the spider down around the lifters too?

Oh yeah, I got the stuck lifters unstuck - I just took my rubber mallet and "gently" tapped on them after bathing them in oil to get them to move. I can now turn the cam and they move relatively freely. I guess this will be better when I get oil circulating in the engine and they get pumped up with oil.

Also, should I use loctite on these bolts? They seem like they could come out very easily. :cheers:

I'm in the same situation as you. I installed lifters today, but I couldn't find any torque specs in my service manual. I just hand tigtened the 3 bolts for now. Hopefully someone can help us out. TTT

Don't know what the specs are...but after seeing a rustang 5.0 valley after the bolts backed out from his...I'm going to loctite mine.

14ftlb with blue loctite (blue liquid, not blue bottle). but, loctite is useless if there's any oil on/in the threads, so clean with brake parts cleaner. (both block threads and bolts!)
