Alan, I am looking at an orignal hardback factory manual for the 100, it 
doesn't give much in the way of torque settings for the motor, but does 
provide head studs 65-70 lbs and flywheel crankshaft bolts 35-40 lbs.

Manual is dated July 1954.  I do agree that Glenn's is an excellent 
suppplement.  When I rebuilt my motor on the recommendation of my machinist 
both the head and the block were planed a very slight amount to ensure a 
smooth even finish, and I used a standard issue copper head gasket, reused 
my head studs and had no problems with 8.5/1 compression .060 over pistons 
using the factory manual torque settings, did use a little permatex copper 
gasket sealer for head gasket.  Maybe I am just a lucky fellow.  Your 
mileage may vary.
