Head torque on 45 B head bolts

Ben So Tex · Mar 22, 2015

I have a I&T shop manual, and it does not tell anything. I am thinking 105 lbs but I need to know for sure.

FWIW the late styled B calls for 104 lbs.

Yours would be 96. 104 will ruin the studs & you'll have leaks & eventual gasket failure. 104 is for Late B's after serial # 201,000. They went to hardened studs. Cover the radiator & get it hot, 190+ for a good half hour then remove carb etc & torque again while hot to 96.

I don't doubt what you said but would like to know where you got the 96# spec.
