Does anyone happen to have these handy. I can't seem to find them anywhere and am installing a new thermostat this afternoon. Never done one with two gaskets and 3 bolts...

30 foot pounds on GM 454 block. That assumes the male and female threads are clean, smooth and dry. I've never seen a mechanic use a torque wrench on them as snug plus a smidgeon extra seems to do the job.
