The gentleman who built my engine gave me torque specs of 65ft pounds to torque the heads on my engine after a gasket change.Engine is a 347 windsor.Does that figure sound a little light?
I am using ARP 7/16 bolts and ARP moly grease
alloy windsor snr's. The world products site says 70 lower 80 upper. Help?!?!?!

I wouldn't go by either recommendation, I'd follow ARP's specs. They made the hardware.------------------

Yes, go with the ARP specs. Using ARP moly lube will drastically reduce the torque value.------------------
