Anyone remember the bolt torque settings? 32/inch pds keeps popping up in my mind.

Found my notes:
Gas block screw torque 35 in-lb, The screw is 8-36 (5/16th to 3/8" long) grade 8 cap screws. Hex 9/64 The engineering torque spec for that size screw in stainless steel is 22 inch lbs

Can anyone confirm?

Finally found a Grade 8, #8-36 torque chart (Spirol). Dry is 43.3 in/pds, Lubed is 32.5 in/pds. The stainless numbers posted earlier are correct. Grade 5 only goes to 30.8 inch/pds so you really need to use grade 8 bolts.
