Trying to figure out how to install the ARP headstuds.
The instructions look like they were written by a 12 year old.

What do I torque the bolts into the block at.

I see that the bolts that hold the head down are to be torqued to 86 per this 12 year olds writing.


Anyone have any frickin insight.

 

lol i thought i was the only one having problem with search

 

Search has not been our friend for a LONG time. I haven't been able to view page twos for at least a week.
Its a total piece of mierda! (sorry had to vent, took way to long to find a dyno chart on here last night)

 

You're better off doing a search here using Google.

for example, in the Google search box type: dyno site:s2ki.com

 

i just called arp

 

They should be 80 ftlbs.

 

It's 80 if you use the supplied moly lube. It's around 115 with regular motor oil.

I'd recommend overtorqueing a bit even with the moly to maybe 90 lbs.

 

I dont think you are understanding my issues, but I figured it out, I wanted to know how much to torque the bolts into the shortblock, not the nuts when the head is installed.

ARP said hand tight into the block or 8 ft lbs or torque which I did.


They also said 86-90 for the bolts that hold the head to the block with thier moly lube.

They said do not use regular oil whatsoever.

 

That's news to me regarding the head stud torque. When I spoke to them 2 1/2 months ago they said to use 80 lbs. just like the paper in the box said? I better call them and check out the discrepency, since I'm not running yet it would be no biggy to Tq them more.

 

Well really, because my paperwork in my boxs shows 86.


I dont think arp did a great job when producing these for the s2000.
