I just broke down my motor, to get rid of a bad lifter, and I have to put the heads back on (of coarse cleaned heads, and new head gaskets) what is is the torque I need to achive for full Windsor Dart heads, ARP studs on a 302 cobra block? Is there a pattern for tighting? Also I lost the paper work on my crane gold roller arms, what shoud the clearence be at rest against the valuves. Any help is apreciated!
Need to know tourque specs for a 302 cobra w/windsor heads.

first be sure the word "front" on the head gaskets is at the front even if 1 gasket is udside down! torque the studs starting in the middle, working in a circular pattern,in 3 steps until you reach 75lbs on all the nuts, then back them off 1 at a time and in 1 motion retorque the nuts to 75 lbs, the rockers require 0 lash + 1/2-3/4 turn after 0 lash for hydraulic lifters.
