1275 or 1500?

46 foot pounds will work nice on a 1970 1275 engine.
That's about 62 Newton meters.

My friend Diana is in Norway right now. She was just in Lillehammer and I believe she is in the Moelv/Gaupen/Myøsa area this week.

Plains studs are 42
Studs marked with "22" or drill point should be 50

 

[Sopwith_Camel]

its a 1275 out of a 1972

ok so the nine big ones do at 50
and the little thin that hold the valves on at 42

thanks I have to get this thing past EU inspectin by friday

no, only the head studs- the small studs are 25 and not related to head torque

Yeah, don't tighten the small studs too high.

They are just to hold the rocker arm shaft to the head.

They will actually strip if you go too much above 25 foot pounds.
