If you use a copper or steel head gasket you don't need full
torque--probably 90# is fine, though look for leaks and retorque if
necessary. I rarely use 105#

Hi@all,

how much torgue do you give your TR4 head nut?
I am thinking about that the factory suggestions are too high and will
crack the block one day. What about 20% or 30% less torgue?

Thanks Chris
