Default Torque spec's for copper head gasket

I got a copper head gasket now for my Honda Accord, now the stock head gasket torque spec is 72 foot pounds. For a copper head gasket should I still use 72 or torque it a little higher.

It should say it in the kit.




Or actually, maybe you just use the factory torque specs, since they are there for proper seating of the head/prevent warpage/thats what the bolts are rated for, etc...

Exactly. Unless you're upgrading bolts, you should never overtorque the factory ones.
