cgarr, I was just thinking iof driving a car with a broken stud - seems like it could be driving a car with a binding camshaft, which may cause damage beyond the head and cylinder interface. All my Dilavars were pristine looking and intact, though they still got replaced with steel.
Flat6pac, that is what the Bentley says (I remember 11 ft*lb, but memory is fuzzy & bentley in the garage), but given some of their other torque values (ie, wrong torque values), I ignored them and went with Waynes book (25 ft*lb)... the 90 degrees would add a LOT of torque to some of the studs.
Eagledriver, I suppose if some of them are quite loose the camshaft would likely already be binding anyway, so no harm tightening them back up.... I can follow that logic. Though the pattern of torqueing the nuts up to spec made the difference between binding and free cams ... I sort of remember what I did ... but only sort of.
