I have just got done putting a helicoil in my head so I could put the manifold back on and get it running again. But I don't know what to torque the studs to, and I can't seem to find it in the repair manual.

IJ.;1323332 said:A lot of the kids here WOULD take it at face value then be in here pissing and moaning that their studs have pulled out of the head using your method.... :nono:
The TECH section needs to have accurate information as not everyone can "feel" 30 ft/lbs on a m10x1.25 stud before it pulls the threads.
