It is like 90ft -lbs, but i wouldnt do it.

I was using oil while i was torqing my head bolts down, using their torque specs, and one broke. Had to pull the head back off and get the broken piece out, send it to them, then wait for them to send me a new bolt.

I used formagasket the next time.

That if you look at the tube, you will see that it may have the lube in the sealer.
The tube I have, is marked pt# 100-9904.

I believe it's 75 lb/ft with moly lube and 95 lb/ft with 30 wt oil.

I'm looking at the box my 12 pt studs came in and the additional torque with 30 wt oil is from 26% to 28% more than the moly lube spec.

That's weird. I just put a set in and my instructions stated 65 for the molly lube and 70 with 30 weight. Go figure.
