Re: cylinder studs: torque or length?

Rod:

Thanks for the input This is the confusing part. Yu are (accurately)
referring to the torque on the head NUTS (see Rod's picture at:
http://www.pbase.com/rodneff/image/41825708)

My question is the torque on the STUDS themselves (if any) - I have had two
people say that you JUST go by the length of the studs above the cylinder
(152.5mm and 132mm).

what ever you do be careful, 20 nm is not enough, i have to look it up, but
i think this is the torque setting before you give the nuts 2 more 90 degree
turns,,i dont like this method, i use 33.3 ftlbs, but thats just me,,
