1926 JD D head Torque?

[Justin Krell]

How many pounds of torque should the block and head be tightened to? Any suggestions?

208 ft lbs

208lbs? Is that too much? Just wondering.

That's the number I seem to remember from our '38 DI. Those are some pretty beefy studs, I doubt you're near breaking them at that torque!

I've always liked this picture haha

all 3/4 head studs from waterloo boy through and including the R are 208 ft. after the R they hardened the studs. then you could torque those studs to 275 or 300 ft lbs.. just today torqued a waterloo boy to --- yep 208 ftlbs.Paul
