FWIW (not much) I agree with Henry.  In fact, I overtorque mine just
slightly, by lubricating the threads with motor oil instead of installing
them dry and still setting the wrench to 105.  In 40 years of TRactor motor
ownership, I've yet to crack a block or head.  Have stretched a few studs,
though, they seem to be the weakest link (as it should be).
