I recently completely dismantled a P79 head to take for a valve job and bead blast. I can't find the torque value for the bushings that that the rocker arm pedestals screw into in any of the books that I have (Chiltons/Haynes). These screw directly into the top of the head (12 total) and have a 17mm hex. I don't know if the FSM has this value. Please help. Brian

those I used impact to get them on. I had no problem

In case you get no other response: The '81 FSM manual states the following for that year: "Pivot bushing bolt" 58-87 ft-lb, "Pivot lock nut" 36-43 ft-lb. I presume these are the parts to which you are referring.
