ozymaxwedge OP super stock O Joined: Sep 2015 Posts: 1,096 Australia	Putting my old 547 engine together now that has had a hone and new bearings, just a few questions that I would like to be sure on. Is 70lb right for ARP/Eagle 1.75 7/16 rod bolts ? What should I torque the ARP head studs to with cometics and Ali Indy heads ? I have just filled and drilled the Indy rocker oil feeds to 0.040 is this a little small ? I have always sprayed my head gaskets with copper but see that a lot of you guys say you put them on as is dry. Is this right ? There could be a few more Q's later if thats ok. Thanks AL 1963 Plymouth Max Wedge 1971 Barracuda

Is 70lb right for ARP/Eagle 1.75 7/16 rod bolts ?I have always used the stretch method. What should I torque the ARP head studs to with cometics and Ali Indy heads ? 70 ft lbs I have just filled and drilled the Indy rocker oil feeds to 0.040 is this a little small ? If it is FULL TIME OILING (by one of a few means) then probably yes but that is a little small for my comfort for one bank...I would definitely do full time oiling at or near that size..but I'm a pushrod oiling guy. I have always sprayed my head gaskets with copper but see that a lot of you guys say you put them on as is dry. Is this right ?I never have put them on dry copper coat is always s good for me along with the proper finish on both head and block There could be a few more Q's later if thats ok. Thanks AL
