Default ARP studs, ARF heads... Torque Specs

Anyone know what the torque values are for ARP studs, using AFR heads on the LT block?

I think, on all the other builds, that I made three concentric passes, as described on Shbox's site, setting the last pass at 90 lbs.

I can't find anything on this, and no one in my circle is available, locally.

I'd sure appreciate the input... . Would love to get this done today.

Torque settings are all about the fastener, why are you confusing yourself worrying about what heads and block they are being used in? You look up the ARP spec and that is the end of it.

It's not ALL about the fastener ....... it's about the fastener and LUBE you choose to use.

FWIW, AFR states 70#s and ARP states 80#s. I did 80#. Ova did 80 as well after a PM .

A couple #s either way won't hurt as long as they are all tightened evenly, with the proper lube, and in the proper sequence.
