Hi Dave - I've always done the through (9mm) nuts to 26ft/lbs and the cam pillar studs to 20ft/lbs. I oil the nuts with thin oil and never use any sealant on head gasket.  Others may well have different opinions - but that's served me well for the last 38 years! - What's a "motodd manual" by the way?? - Regards - Phil
 
thanks for that ,will start doing it shortly .Phil the motodd manual is an RGS RGA  Wshop manual with motodd 235 london road croydon on the top with  handwritten notes on some of the pictures and a really good wiring diagram in the back bought off ebay for the princely sum of ?5 in VGC
