Subject:Re: Toqueing the head, the ft/lbs changed?

I tried once asking the list to clarify the numer. The answer was 50 NM
or 38 ftlb. I torqued my head nuts to 50 nm and it has held up through
my trip to Yosemite. I went up to 10,000 ft summit. As of today (2 or 3
weeks later) there is still no loss of coolant nor any loss of oil.
