ARP instructions show 80ftlbs for 7/16" studs / 25 ft lbs for the small ones.

Slowing ramping up the torque is so you dont warp the head.

I'll add to this thread the torque for BOLTS

P/N 134-3609 Gen III/LS (2003 & earlier)

Using ARP Ultra-torque lube, manufacturers sequence, and three equal steps:
M11 = 75ftlb
M8 = 25ftlb

I'm sure its on here in a thousand places, but what's one more?
