Title: torque for flathead V8?
Post by: Cooke on March 18, 2012, 06:05:42 PM
I think 75lbs. torque for the headbolts on a '30 Caddy flathead is correct?? Thanks

On dry not oiled or greased studs, that is about right, 70 will do in my opinion, the 70 on oiled or greased studs will lead
to about 85 lbs and that's to much.
