I need some advice/guidance. I am re-doing some work on my car and had to take the heads off, I am using ARP studs for the heads and need to get them torqued properly. I'm out of the ARP assembly lube so I used 30wt oil, what is the recommended torque for FI with studs and 30wt? I remeber reading that ARP had chaged the recommended torque recently, but I can't find the thread anymore. PLEASE HELP???!!!

 

Going off the top of my head, I believe it is 5 ft/lb over the amount for ARP lube.

190 lb-ft with ARP lube on the threads, washer and under the head of the bolt. This is installed in step 8 at the point in the installation sequence when the new GM bolt would normally go in. See below:
