Anthony is correct. I highly recommend you retorque after first heat up cool down cycle if using not stock fasteners.

Installed mine dry and used ARP bolts and torqued them to spec with no problems. I agree make sure you have a good clean surface before you start. I wanted to use the copper spray but Tony at AFR told me to put them on dry so I did.

I fired up my Darton wet sleeved 427 yesterday and have a water leak at the bottom of the head at #3 cylinder. Used ARP studs torqued to 65/fps as told by Cartek and used the Cometic gaskets. Darton has said a leak can be common and that alot of people use the copper gasket spray. My leak has stopped so far today but I think I will torque them down alittle more when I readjust the valves. I'll use the spray if i still have the leak later. By the way, can this Cometic gaskets be reused/retorqued?
