[DeTomaso] Head Stud Torque

[tony DiGiovanna]

Thanks all.  I inherited the engine with the studs, so I have no idea whose
they are.  Didn't think there was much variation for cleves out there.

    Anybody know off the top of their heads what the recommended head torque
is when you have the typcial stud conversion that has finer pitch threads?
And, to what equivalent bolt torque that is referenced (different head
gasket mfrs quote different head bolt torques.)


  I always follow the bolt or stud-manufacturer's recommended torques and
lubrications. You didn't mention who made the things and they're all
slightly different so that may account for lack of answers/guesses. FWIW- J
