That's a tough question!

I've never seen or heard of a spec for the studs into the case. Hopefully somebodies got something that wasn't published.
If I had to go at it w/o a spec, I'd say to go about 10 ft*lbs tighter than the head nuts so you wouldn't have to worry about cracking the Loc-Tite when you tighten the head nuts. Of course, high-temp red LocTite would be in order. As for how to tighten, you could use two nuts locked together. Just don't go overboard when locking them together.

That head is all timmed!!! Just make sure you don't smack that piston when puting the timming chain on!!
