Head M8 stud torque?

[calibay]

Does anyone know what torque I should be tightening my new m8 head studs to? I have case savers.

25 ft lb or 35 nm.

Mr haynes says 18ft.lb for 8mm studs 23ft.lbs for per 73 engines as they had 10mm studs :msn4:

Do 7ft.lb first following the correct sequence then 18ft.lb following the correct sequence

Corrected! Mine must've had 10mm studs then.

Thanks guys, I couldn't find any reference in the Haynes manual to the stud torque only the head nuts.
