Also check yr torque wrench ! Mine was reading almost twice the actual torque on bolts, result was a blown head gasket 500 miles aftervthe rebuild, and then a full engine strip to redo the con rod bolts
My non std billet rods came with instructions to oil the threads so I did, this obviates the abilty to use threadlock of course
Im not sure whether the head bolts should be oiled or not, but I oiled them and they fairly easily got to 32 ft lbs without any sign of over stress and fingers crossed no repeat of the blown gasket after 1500 miles, I checked the visible bolts after a few runs and they were still at 32 so ive taken the chance of not taking the rocker box off to check the others. I may regret that laziness of course
Note I think I got 32 lb ft from the SRM site, and thats the figure for an iron head.
Edit: the second gasket fitting attempt I fitted the gasket dry, as it took SOOO long to remove the blackened goo that was the remains of the cement I put on the first time, also I made sure the gasket was fully soft before re using it.
