I have a set of ARP studs for sale. $180 + shipping. They have 2,000 miles on them. Torque specs are 75 ft. lbs. (go to 25 .. then 50 .. finally 75 ft. lbs.) for the long ones and 25 ft. lbs. for the short ones using ARP lube.

No instructions with these ones. And arps you can use motor oil instead if you read the instructions. The guy I talked to told me they are the same strength as Arp so that's what I used. They don't have instructions or specs with them like I said

The guy you talked to was the guy selling them to you right. FYI the torque specs are different if you use oil instead of ARP lube. I would never use unknown products on engine assembly. But that is just me. If we all the same it would be a dull world.

PS If you have a question about ARP products just call them on the phone and they will answer your questions.

Yea I just figured I'd give them a shot. Read guys where running them for years without issue running 20psi. Just figured I'd share what happened to me. The spec I had was 25,50 and 80 with oil. 70 with arp lube

I have had the procomp studs in my car for almost a year now I think. Maybe just under a year. I had a extra arp moly lube in my tool box. I used that and arp specs. No issues. Im getting ready to throw the 125 shot on it. Im not worried about them a bit.

I wouldn't buy anything from Procomp after the head ordeal we went through. Look up Procomps history, and you'll find how much their crap sucks.
