turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 26d Gender: Male Posted 17/11/13 02:50 AM Share Posted 17/11/13 02:50 AM A bit low 85lb. I would do 110lb. I have done 120lb but with 1/2" bolt but you do want to be around the 110 mark IMO with a good non wasted shank stud.

Justa6 Member 214 Member For: 15y 11m 5d Posted 17/11/13 02:54 AM Share Posted 17/11/13 02:54 AM not using washers can cause the nut to grip into the alloy and give a false torque reading. I went 115 on mine. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86748-atomic-head-stud-bolts/page/5/#findComment-1440739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
