You probably already know to make absolutely certain the head bolt holes are clean and free of liquids. If there is coolant or oil in one you will crack the block when you tighten them down.

Use the supplied arp lube in the.blue packet, they give you plenty. it goes on.both ends of the studs, the washers, and the nuts.
Make sure to use correct torque sequence.. Hand tight studs.. put heads on.. one pass 30# lrg one pass small 25#.. One pass 55# lrg.. last pass 75 lrg..
Back all off and repeat 2-3 times.. last time you do it back the nuts off a good bit and retighten the studs with an Allen. Tighten nuts down again same deal.. wait 30 mins but this time don't back the nuts off and just make a final pass at the final torque setting.
