IIRC The Jeff Garmon is torquing stock head bolts to around 170 ft lbs.

 

Yeah, but that's with single stacks---everything changes with a tailpipe

 

Allright mine are good for 170

 

I had all those on the guage when we put the other head back on, remember? None were stretched even half the limit! That's weird.
Are you gonna change them all?

 

Pete, yeah, they all looked good on the stretch gauge, but I took em back out to put the new head on, so I guess the torque we did was the last time they were gonna hold. BTW, when I say stretched, I meant they wouldn't come up to torque...I didn't actually measure them again. I'm changing them all with '93 bolts.

 

That's cool, better be safe than sorry!
