Reassembling my XJ6 III head and following the head tightening sequence, I'm wondering about the six small nuts in the front where the head houses the cam sprockets. Do these nuts need to be torqued the same as the big nuts (50 ft-lbs)? If so, how does one get a torque wrench on these nuts?

CAREFUL! These nuts are rarely torqued but if so only to a max of 15 Lb ft. ordinarilly they are tightened with a small 1/2 inch socket. bill Jaguar affectionado and etc.
