Hi, You dont say which engine But 68 cads use 400+ cubic inch engines. It is the same as the 327.s. This is a very important procedure and MUST be done in stages and in a certain bolt tightening sequence You start at middle top and work your way around the pattern to just snug up the bolts. Then to 25 lbs following pattern Then 50 lbs Untal you reach your correct torque. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. You have to go on line (say Auto Zone site) and get the correct pattern and torque .
If you have installed new gaskets make sure they are installed correctly. should say this side up or right and left. If you don't find your spec's on line I can look them up in my goood old school books for you. Mike.

I need to know how much pounds is apliied to a 350 chevy cylinder heads

What is the year and model of your vehicle?

On a 1968 Chevy 350 small block it is 60-70 ft/lbs with sealant applied

When torqueing the heads, it is helpful to start at around 25 ft. lbs. and torque all the bolts, then go to 50 ft. lbs., and finally, your specified torque. Doing this in increments will help give a nice even torque to the heads

I lost compression in one cylinder an it is the # 2 cylinder

Lost of compression is due to either leaking head gasket, valves not closing and seal properly or piston rings are worn and need replacing. One can tell if you have bad head gasket, oils contaminated by water when looking at dip stick, bad valves cause some smoke and run rough, worn piston rings will cause lots of blow-by and will cause white smoke heavily and also runs rough. Being 1968 original motor and never have been rebuilt will probably have over 100k mile will be needing tear down and rebuilt. Rebuilt it correctly will get another 100k plus. being 1968, doing your head and valves job or replacing head gasket if that is the problems and you can get by it. worn rings, I would rebuilt it completely instead repairing one or two cylinder unless you plan to get rid of it.
