After a top end job on my 67 TR120 I would like to know what the general agreed amount for the head bolt torque settings? I have seen from 15 to 20 lbs depending which manual you pick up.

18 ft/lb for the 8 main bolts, 15 for the #9 (venter) bolt.

Stan Shenton of Boyer fame reckons 20ftlb for centre and 25ftlb for all other 8 bolts. This saves having to re-torque the head.
