I bought new head bolts even though these arnt tourqe to yield and with some moly lube tourqed to 70 then let it set overnight and came back and tourqed to 70 again if you go to the arp bolts then you can go higher and if you go to the arp studs even higher but for a stock 7mge with reg hg and reg bolts I recomend getting new ones from toyota like 60 bucks but keep you washers cause the new ones dont come with washers Id do 70 again But alot of people say go higher. I just didnt feel comfortable going any more than 70lbs hope that helps

Torque to 70. You may reuse the original bolts, but you need to check them for stretch as outlined in the TSRM. As with new fasteners you may want to retorque them after a few heat cycles.

Just put ARP Studs on mine and troqued to 90 pounds no problem. ARP Bolts are $90 and troque to 78 pounds

Another thought - I had to buy new bolts because the BHG leak distroyed some of the old bolts. If any bolts are not in NEW condition - replace the set
