torque setting please?

340 engine - j heads

well my fun with my "refurbished" 340 Blown Duster came to an abrupt halt last Saturday afternoon when I blew a head gasket. The car was a trailer & garage queen for the prior owner and although the engine has nice goodies and is tight with great compression and virtually no leak-down my tire smoking burnouts and high rpms exposed a weak leak.

(see picture)

I was disappointed to find a few of the head bolts came our way too easily when pulling the heads on Saturday which most likely led to the head gasket failure (and subsequent expelling of anti-freeze through the passengers side exhaust pipe (another reason I don't like cross-overs in exhaust systems - because it blends both sides and makes problem isolation more difficult)

In any event - the heads are getting decked today, new Cometic Gaskets are on the way and a stud kit from Summitt too for a stronger setup capable of withstanding blower induced compression ratios.

So - would someone please tell me the torque settings for the heads and intake manifold.

these are J-heads

thanks so much in advance.
