Default head stud?

monday im finally installing my heads and cam. ive searched but cant find a direct answer as to what to torque the head studs to. what is the correct torque for the studs? i found more people saying 75 on the big ones and 22 on the little ones. is that correct? i'll be using molly lube to torque them.

MAKE SURE that the block bolt holes are DRY!!! Other wise, you will damage the block. (that applies to installing any fastener in the block).

the studs themselves do not get torqued, you will torque the nuts that go on the studs... if they are arp studs they have instructions on their website
