Yes Mal, I have always wanted a Veteran Twin Six to complement the 38 Barrymore Twelve. It is a lovely vehicle and I am just fettling it a bit. It has Armstrong Power Steering and takes some shoulder strength to steer. All the best to you Mal. Peter and Ann.

Hello all, I assume by the lack of response that no one really knows the 3 - 25 Twin Six head torque. It is definitely not in the Owners Manual. I shall therefore Torque to 45 ft/lbs flattening it out from the centre, as it appears reasonable for the head stud size. Any comments or notes of caution based on previous experience would be welcome.

You may want to check with a museum that owns a Twin Six, see if they know.

Sounds like a good idea, I just thought that rather than re invent the wheel...someone may have already has been through this journey.

CHRYSLER invented the torque wrench in the late 20s so this is would be the reason u cant find any spec for ur T6. Suggest u assume ur working with a Grade 2 Bolt/Stud and torque to the recommend torque per size.
