So Im rebuilding my engine and Im ready to put the head back on. Simple enough. Problem:

I ordered ARP head studs. The instructions say to torque the studs to 80.

The manual says:

Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to
29 N m (3.0 kgf.m, 22 lbf ft). Use a beam-type
torque wrench. When using a preset-type torque
wrench, be sure to tighten slowly and do not
overtighten. lf a bolt makes any noise while you are
torquing it, Ioosen the bolt and retighten it.

Turn the bolts 3 times (new) at 90 degrees per turn.

So which do i go with????

 

go with arp instructions since it's not honda bolts, i think the ARP's are 2 steps if i remember.

 

It just says torque to 80 if you use the ARP moly lube or 120 it you use motor oil.

 

Use the ARP instructions. They designed the bolt they know whats good

 

Use 80 mine is apart right now cuz i didnt enough said
