Head Bolt Torque Question

dano said

If you followed the FSM you should be fine at 65 with 30w oil unless Felpro said differently. Are you experiencing any issues?

ARP has different torque specs for fasteners when you use their lube with their fasteners.

No issues since doing a valve job 2K miles ago. Just wanted to mill the head now along with upgrading the carb and exhaust. I just got Dutra's book as a gift from the little woman. Until then all my specs have been straight out of the Factory Service Manual and info from the gurus on this forum. 65 to 80 lbs torque seams like a big difference to me.
