How much torque on bolts?
This weekend I'll install heads and cam so I need some infos.
How much should I torque head bolts and in what order?
( I use FPP 1043 head gaskets )
On what bolts ( other than heads and intake ) is a must to use torque
wrench?

I found at ALLDATA that head bolts should be torqued at 68 ft.lb. ( 92 Nm ).
How accurate are data from ALLDATA, anybody else use info from their site?

Re: How much torque on bolts? (Sliding)
Are you using new OEM bolts or new ARP bolts? Are you using motor oil, thread sealer, or assembly lube on the threads?
