[DeTomaso] 351c Torque Specs

I realize you are talking about the block, but for the record the header
bolts penetrate the head bolt holes in my aluminum A3 heads.

I don't know about iron heads.

And, I have seen blind holes that were cracked in the bottom from somebody
cranking the bolts down too far.

Getting way off topic ­ I've also seen the tops of ports cracked from
someone using the wrong length rocker stud (or bolt).  I don't remember the
engine, but I remember seeing the damage.

Back on topic ­ light oil, no thread sealer, no RTV.  That's what I do, even
with studs.

The head bolt holes on a Cleveland are all blind holes.  The bolts do not
penetrate the water jacket.  I specifically remember blowing the holes out
with compressed air and ending up with trash in my eyes after chasing the
threads.  Real smart!  Wear your safety goggles.
