just to be clear. like i said in a previous post, it looks like 60 ft lbs is what they want. you guys that are saying 70-80, or i will blow headgaskets, what is your reasoning?

Where is Mr. Shadows. He always says how he uses the oem headbolts.
I even think the stock headbolts are greater than 60 ft lbs. I don't feel like looking it up right now, but I would torque them to atleast 70 ft lbs, or better yet, follow the fsm. The fsm is the best way to do it right.
The reason you want more torque is so your headgasket does not leak. I fear putting just 60 ft lbs will cause a slow leak and then you will have to replace it sooner than later.
