Re: question on head studs WOW, I think you should read your instructions that came with the studs. That have made some improvements and it seems not all the stud packages are the same. I know that I have seen a set at 80 and 22ft/lb.
Re: question on head studs sweet thanks guys,
Well the stud kit I got did not include instructions for ft.lb specs...i have actually gotten a few things from ARP im the past, for mopar and ford applications that did not come with instructions either...but it's no big deal to me since I have a tech forum to go to and find the proper specs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> thanks again guys,

question on head studs hey guys,
well my question is, when the studs are in the block and the heads are on...do i follow the factory sequence for tourqing but instead of using an angle meter guage go in increments to 70 ft. lbs? or do i go by factory specs totally?..like 22 ft. lbs and additional 90 degrees?..thanks in advance <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: question on head studs Torque them in sequence up to 70 ft/lbs for the mains and 25ft/lb for the top studs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: question on head studs Most people with the ARP stuff do one pass at 30lbft, one at 50lbft, then a final pass at 70lbft using the proper bolt tightening sequence. You dont use a torque angle meter at all on ARP bolts/studs since they aren't TTY bolts.
