doing a head gasket on my 85.a couple questions.first do these use the stretch bolts or is this before they started using them.and i can't seem to find the torque specs for the head bolts.

No-stretch bolts.
Torque is done in 3 stages starting in the middle.
25, then 35, then 45 ftlbs.

A good head gasket set should include those specs & the correct torque pattern.
