Hi guys,
I blew my head gasket a couple weeks ago. I don't have a manual for my car yet and wondered if someone on the board could get me the torque specs for my heads and rockers. I've done the heads right: valve job and milled and I've cleaned the block. I just need to put it back together.
Thanks,
Jim
 
Jim,

The stock head bolts are torque to yield and aren't re-usable according to the manual. I have seen them re-used but I wouldn't do it myself. I'd recommend using ARP bolts with their thread sealer on the threads and moly lube under the head of the bolt and on the washer. Torque the bolts in several steps with a final torque of 80-85 ft lbs. The rocker arms require 25 ft lbs.

Good Luck
Neal
