Default Looking for link or instruction on installling arp head studs and rod bolts

Does any one have a link or info on the proper intallation of arp rod bolts in stock rods and arp head studs in a lq4 6.0? I need the torqe specs and torque sequence along with a good method of torqueing.

Yes, I am doing the same thing when my tsp 5.3L heads arrive. I didn't even know the 04+ LQ4 block uses nothing but the short head bolts, until I got the heads off. Is there also a different torque sequence and specs for the 04+ LQ4 over the LS1?

do a search on the net for "how to build a high performance ls1" authors name is will handzill, it has all the answers. . . Book was co writen and published by one of gm's engineers, i believe they also have a book specific for ls2. . . Even on ls2 i use the same sequence, depends on who u listen to on torque, ive done it 25, 40, and then use torque angle guage per spec, of course some people dont have one, in that case do a 3rd pass at 75, there are different opinions on this topic but thats mine

I'd contact ARP and obtain the proper instructions for your application.
