don't be scared of pro comp/ebay head studs
made 1211rwhp with them yesterday lol. Long story short I hurt a motor last year was a newer 6.0 block. New block was an older block didn't realize it till I began sticking studs in so picked me up some el cheapo pro comps. Never got around to upgrading to ARP's but not sure if I will Lots of ARP lube/anti seize on the threads and torqued to 85ftlbs. Don't be scared of them just install them right.

My wife loves ***** Mi Dong.....lol
I have a new set I'm getting ready to install today into a clean block. Finger tight in the block with engine oil and arp lube on fine threads and tq to 65lbs? Is that how you did yours?

Getting a set of the alpers head studs for my current build which will be turbo'd. Do you suggest the same torque that you used (85ft lbs) on a milder turbo engine?

There was a thread on here before where most people were installing by hand then were torquing in 3 passes: 25, 50, 75. This was in general, some people torqued less (up to 70 lbs) and some went beyond. But it was somewhat of a general consensus that the 25, 50, 75 was appropriate.

here is what I did with mine. anti size on the threads to the block, no engine oil, lots of lots of arp lube, run them down by hand and just snug with an allen wrench and get to tq'ing. The top small ones don't have allen key holes in them so I just used a small pair of pliers after hand tightening them to snug them. I have seen more snapped ARP head studs lately than I can believe. I know of 3 within the last 2 months
