I am disappointed that on the above referenced page of the Cornwall Austin Seven Club, Austin's 1937 published head stud torque figure of 360 lbs-in (30 lbs-ft) is being perpetuated. This has been discussed at length in the past on this forum, and the general conclusion is that it is rather too high. Maybe a health warning should be added ?
Cor lummy, 30 lb.ft (not lb/ft) for tappets sounds a bit wild too! Not to mention 50 for C/M.

from my metric perspecticve the whole topic is even more mysterious. Could anyone provide the link to the list of the Cornwall Austin Seven Club mentioned at the beginning of the topic?
Thanks

Frank, I'm not letting you play that "I'm German" card any more since I discovered fuss & zoll.... (for the illumination of others, the German foot and inch!)
