H11 hot re-torque specs needed ASAP!

What are the recommended hot re-torque specs on the 7.3 head studs? Need to know ASAP thanks!

i believe its the same as cold, you are just making sure they are torqued properly HOT. maybe someone else will chime who knows for sure.

That does not look to good..

I think you might need another set..

Do you think the stud was defective or was the torque wrench being stupid.

Damn dud that sucks.

Ouch man.

Same thing happened to my buddy when he was torquing down H11s on his 7.3... when it let go, the torque wrench came flying up and damn near knocked him down. Hope you get it all squared away.

God that sucks

Can't be positive but my money would not be on the torque wrench. It has been calibrated and torqued several other sets and been just fine. It had done a couple studs before this one. Just sucks because if the head has to come off got to buy another gasket and fire ring set.

How tight did you run it into the block with the hex wrench?

The metal in the stud where it broke looks pourus (SP?). My money is a faulty stud. Im not that big and the torque wrench isnt that long no way i should have been able to do that as easy as i did.
