I guess that was the head nuts. I'm not sure that torque settings were generally specified in the good old days. The length of the spanners in the tool roll would have naturally dictated the amount of torque that could have been applied (with an extension bar for good measure if you wanted to risk stripped threads). Other than the cylinder head which obviously needs tightening down evenly the old method seems to work fine.
