ARP head bolts - torque
I have cleaned out each head bolt hole, no coolant and cleaned the threads.
Now for installing the ARP bolts. The instruction sheet says to torque to 85 ft-lbfs if lubing threads with oil. This seems high for an aluminum block. (BTW: the instructions say to torque to 70 ft-lbfs if lubing with ARP moly.)
Since I'm lubing with oil, I was going to torque the bolts (in the correct order of bolts) to 30 - 55 - 85 ft-lbfs.
What do you guys think?
