I dont think the 84-85 hot airs used TTY.

 

[Chuck Leeper]

TTY, or not.. 25 yr old bolts, that have had 1000's of heat cycles, may have been reused at previous repairs, etc, are suspect, IMO.
Already blown the gaskets, [at least once], I'd be going w/ some ARP's... But that's just MO.

Is the torgue the same for Head bolts, as it is for Studs? Also, i know you put permatex on threads of head bolts, but do you put anything on crank studs that go in the mains, and do you torgue sutd in block, or just screw them in?
