[Healeys] Head bolt torque

[Fred Wescoe]

Listers,

I am assembling my rebuilt 66 BJ8 cylinder head.

What torque reading should I take the nuts to?  The manual says 900 inch
pounds which is 56.25 foot pounds.  That doesn't seem right.  I have been
told 70 - 75  foot pounds.  I have also been told 85 foot pounds.

Everyone says to reach final torque in 3 steps, increasing by 15 pounds
each step.

What is correct?

I have also been told to seal each head bolt into the block.  If so, what
sealant should I use?

Fred
