Steve is right. I install them double nutted...use plain nuts...and tighten to around 18 lbs ft.
The motor is out of the car. All studs have been removed, cleaned, have been run thru a die. Holes in heat are cleaned and have had tap run in to hole to clean.

18 ft. lbs seems like way to much. Are you sure? I can not seem to find a torque value for either the studs or the nuts in my workshop manual.
