torque on AFR studs?

I have a set of afr 190s and I was backing out the rocker stud bolt and the stud broke! What is the torque on the rocker stud?

TY!

That happens alot.... either the heat generated by the locknut, or the sound wave that you hear as a sqeeek, or something, will shear them off right even with the bottom of the lock part of the nut.

Don't forget to put some sealer on the threads; that stud goes into either the intake port or the water jacket.
