I am installing ARP head studs and I need to know the torque specifications and sequence to tighten them. I did a search and couldn't find anything. Please help!

 

30, 60 ,90

 

Torque to 30 then 60 then 90? Do you know the sequence?

 

call arp and they should give them to you.. my arp head studs came with the assembly lube and also the sequence and torque specs on a piece of paper(which is with my mechanic)... call em up and im sure they'll help you out

ARP is recommending 95 ft lbs torque.

 

jeez...misinformation like a mofo

 

ARP in the instructions recommends 80ft lbs when using their assembly lube. (Which I did) Is this correct?

 

The last set of arp head studs I had told me 100ft/lbs w/their lube.

use the stock sequence and the more steps you do the better in general. start with about 15ft/lbs and them make sure the head is seated all the way around. I fix alot of cars with crushed dowel pins in the head b/c people started cranking the head bolts down and the head wasnt all the way on the block/dowels.

 

This is the right torque specs when using ARP Lube. (30-60-95)

There can be other specs with other lubricants as they all have different properties. See this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgwmuZuJ02I

The sequence is just per the book. Start in the middle and criss/cross your way to the outside. Repeating the steps 3 times until you achieve 95ftlbs!
