Yea 500lbs each - straight up and down. if you put an angle stress on a
stud or bolt of that size it will bend. we used to use the head bolts if
there was no attachment point available. one at the tranny end and one on
the opposite side on the water pump end. Of course re torque after.
better yet dont't torque prior and then torgue. One of the manifold bolts
(use a spare and on of the peripherials (alt, air pump etc) is a better
bet.
Good luck Tom
