85ft lbs should be good to go. Perhaps they raised the torque specs or changed material of their standard studs to allow more torque? Because I am pretty sure that the stud threads and length and everything are the same as the DE arent they? Its been many years, its just burned into my brain that all the 2003-2004 DE builds were blowing headgaskets with the normal ones and then it became a non-issue when we all went to 1/2" threads.
