I used 70 and 28 with no issues also. Make sure your torque wrench is calibrated. I was able to check mine at work and it was about 12ft lbs off. I wonder if that where a lot of the broken stud stories come from. I would have been doing 82 instead of 70 if I hadn't checked.

Haven't received mine yet.....do you guys just go straight to 70+ lbs. or do you go in sequence like arp ( ex. 25 then 50 then 75). Thanx

I had to go Denmah style too. The arp's I ordered are the wrong style, so had to sell them.
