How much torque on ARP 12pt studs?
I have a built 346 w/ARP 12pt studs. I'm running 317's with GMMLS head gaskets. My compressin is at 8.9 and I'm going to be runnig 13lbs street and 17lbs race. What would be the desired torque for my setup. I recently blew a head gasket at 14lbs. I had the bolts torqued to 75#. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
