How much should the 5.5:1 high compression head studs be torqued to? On the Synder catalogue website the instructions say 55 ft-lbs. On the Bratton's catoloque website they state 65 ft-lbs. Thanks Mike

If it's the snyders head, then torque it to what they say. we put the snyders head on last year torqued it to 55 and then torqued it once after warm up, then 500 miles. Now 3000 miles later its still fine.
