I don't know the touque on a farmall,
but I just did a JD 2640 .I do it this way
1 Blow the hole in the block out
2 run a tap in to clean the threads
3 Blow it out again and again
4 Run a die down the bolt threads and
clean off the threads
5 put the gasket on, then the head, and
put the bolts in dry and tighten them
to specs
ON THE CRANK END OF THE RODS
JD SAYS OIL THE THREADS
THAT HOLD THE CAP ON BEFORE
PUTTING THEM IN
No mention of oiling head bolts
and I never have,
