Head Bolt Torque Question

Duggie said

When I did a valve job 2K miles ago, I torqued my Fel-Pro gasketed head to the FSM spec of 65lbs.

I just had my head cut .075" for a static 8.05:1 compression. My new Dutra /6 Engines book shows Dutra torquing the head bolts to 80lbs.

What to do?

yeah that's funny aint it? ("bad" sort of funny) Every Chilton's or Motor's manual, even the FSM say that a slant is "factory stock" at 8.4:1. and with a net of 70 thou milled off my head and deck, when running my numbers thru a Wallace style CR calculator, I come up with "just barely", exactly, that number. I hate to think how little I really started out with.
so/ you had the valve job done, reassembled and then re-disassembled it for a head shave? You should have had that done the 1st go-round. would have saved yourself a redo.
