[AJD] Putting the D together

Lou
So I have been told. So now the D set has non-lead washers also?
I am going to buy some up then until we can see what's going on. I will ask JD if I get the 
chance this week altho they won't have a clue as to what I'm talking about. Will probably tell 
me they've been that way since 1947 !!

>>I have been advised to torque the head bolts on the D to as much as 20
>>ft lbs over spec.  This would take it from 208 ft lbs to as much as 
>>nearly 230 ft lbs.  What numbers do you use?  Do you torque over spec? 
>>Is 208 ft lbs enough torque?  It is a beefy engine.
