    I looked up the fastener size fine stud and nut and it looks like 14-16 pounds is recommended. Was still looking for that Johnson V-45 torque chart. The first or second edition workshop manual that covers back to 1922 I believe had the chart. I have the 1929 owners manual, but it is not that detailed and does not have torques. It would be nice to see it in print for this model and year so I can get these copper gaskets to seat right. I know others ordered v-45 gaskets for their projects, what head torque was used?

    Thanks in advance.
