Allis G Head Bolt Torque.
Continental manual says 35-40 ft/lb for 3/8" head bolts..
I&T AC-11 manual says 53-57 ft/lb.
Allis G manual says 55 ft/lbs.
Anything over 40 ft/lb seems too much for a 3/8" bolt. I would think with 20 head bolts it wouldn't require a lot of torque.
Anyone have personal experience on installing an Allis G head?

I can tell on my head bolts I put thread sealer because my first motor they leak out top of the head.

See grade torque chart, as it also matter what grade of bolt you use.

Thanks. That's good to know. I enjoy rebuilding, but don't like to have to redo.
This is my first experience with an Allis G and it has been an experience. Seems like every step I take, I find something else that needs attention.
Hopefully when I am finished, I can look back with a sense of accomplishment. The engine and clutch housing assembly will be as good as new.

When I put my continental N62 together for my G, I used the AC manual 55 ft/lbs and snapped of bolts.
I bought all new grade 8 and still they broke.
So went by feel, but don't remember what torque I ended up with, I just looked on line 
http://engineershandbook.com/Tables/torque.htm there it says 33 ft/lbs.
You do need a thread sealer on the bolts due to the fact most go through to the coolant in the block. I don't know if the 33 in the chart is a "Wet Torque" or a "Dry torque", but 33 seems reasonable to me with a thread sealer.
Good luck
