Default Head torque specs... anyone got the relative numbers?
My torque wrench doesn't go up to 90lb-ft, does anyone have the x degrees spec for OEM head studs? E.G. 20lbft then 90 degrees then 90 degrees

Thanks in advance!

I have used 15ft-lbs, 90*, 90* on both my '87 n/a and '88 951. I waited about 15 minutes in between the stages to allow for some stretch.

Make sure to put a bit of oil on the head stud nuts and washers. It helps keep them from hanging up on torque down. I never thought to wait a bit of time in between the 90 degree turns. Makes sense.
