What should I torque the aluminum small block heads to? Should I use steel washers with the stock head bolts? - Answered by a verified Chevy Mechanic. 2002 Chevy Camaro 3.8 front brake caliper bracket bolt torque spec, bolt pin, rear brake as well. Westech’s Steve Brule was torquing the head bolts on an iron block LS 6.0L engine that had just received a new set of heads. We were using ARP head studs and the torque spec called for 70 lb-ft of torque. But something was definitely not right and Steve could feel it in the torque wrench.
