[AJD] Putting the D together

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

I always used the specified torque
I use CopperKote on the gasket, put the smooth side to the block and don't forget TWO lead 
washers on each stud on the D

>I have been advised to torque the head bolts on the D to as much as 20

>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.
