... unfortunately one of our members used them and consequently had a blow out of the head gasket.
The issue has since been resolved and he thankfully provided a link to reliable (aka OEM) service manual based information of same.

Some may remember the "cease and desist" note I once got from RE lawyers for having uploaded manuals to the forum directly (or to my own google drive account) so I won't do that, but there is a link to said manual from elsewhere:

I have only looked at a bit of this manual, I would be careful reading it!
It can be a bit misleading as it will show a pic of something then torque specs for something completely different, point in question.
