Default arp head studs

well the head studs came in but no inst on how to torq them. so any one out there using the arp head studs. if so for the ls1/6 what is the specs for them. they are the 190,000 psi ones. everything is cleaned up and they're finger tight in the block. but i dont have the specs on them, i need the 1st, 2nd and final step for them. i called arp and all they told me was to torq to 90ftlbs. for the m11 and 28 for the smaller ones m8. i need to know for all 3 sizes the long ones the two short end ones and the small top ones. they're the black ones. thanks for any help all. eric

just go in increments when you are torquing them down! i have always done all the bolts to the same specs... i dont think you do the smaller ones to less or more than the longer ones??!? but when you are torquin em down just start off on like 20ft lbs, then once all of them are that way, just up the torque to 40 or so, get them all snug, then 70 or so, then 90! just make sure that you actually get'em to 90 if those are the proper torque specs

The instructions I got with mine said 75 ft/lbs torque for m11 and 28 ft/lbs for the m8. 90 ft/lbs seems way too high.

I agree that it is 65 and 22 for the top row. 90 is way too much torque.
