Installing ARP head studs, need help please I need your help people, first step, how much do i screw in the studs in the block?
what was the torque sequence you used (ex. 45FTLbs 1st pass 50FTLBs 2nd pass, then 90 degrees etc..) Never installed heads before using head studs. Any info would be great. Thanks

Re: Installing ARP head studs, need help please Assuming you've coated the studs in a moly assembly lube, the following sequence will work well:
1. Screw the studs into the block finger tight
2. Tighten all nuts to 22lb.ft. in factory sequence
3. Tighten all the big nuts to 45lb.ft. in factory sequence
4. Tighten all the big nuts to 75lb.ft. in factory sequence
5. Retighten the little nuts to 22lb.ft.

Re: Installing ARP head studs, need help please The small bolts along the top are allways the last to get torqued, even when installing the factory GM bolts. Don't worry about it.

Re: Installing ARP head studs, need help please One quick question. all of you are saying hand tighten the studs in the block, well, I used my allen head, and hand spun it all the way down, and as soon as it touched the bottom, I STOPPED. Is this ok?
