Its doesn't matter since shawn is assembling your motor but did you watch any auto shows this weekend? They had a show on a TTBB install and they also talked about fasteners, stretch, various lubes, and the actual clamping load applied after multiple retorques with various lubes. Since your an engineer you probably would have liked the data of it...

How tight did you torque them?
I had mine at 90 ft/lbs with the regular studs and stock gaskets. I did the same again as the head gaskets looked perfect when I tore it down. Was pushing 22-23psi and no water running 1/4 mile. I hope to hit it with a little more this time around as I found a nasty hotside leak explaining why I couldn't get anymore out of it. I was told that 90 seemed a bit high which is why I ask.

Again, if I read too far into what you said, I apologize.

I apologize if I took you wrong but it felt as though you were talking down to me. That type of wording is like something I would say to one of my kids or someone that I felt to be absolutely clueless. I don't imply to know as much as you do about the max effort stuff that you guys do but I am very good at what I know, which happens to be the category that the OP is playing in. I also don't speak out of my *** as many do here and am the first to ask when diving into something that I am not familiar or comfortable with such as the recent assembly of my shortblock. If I say it, it's because I've done it and have the t-shirt to back it up as can be seen in any of my build threads.
