    go around the torque pateren over and over again untill the bolts stop turning at 18 ft/lbs. it usually takes about 5 times before it complety seats down.

    Yep. If I am not mistaken, the Edelbrock heads are fully helicoiled too, so 18 ft-lbs should be plenty safe.

    Duh, I guess the helicoiled Edelbrocks only matter if you have Edelbrocks :D
