put the thead sealer on the threads, hand tighten them into the block, put the head on, torque them to specs

Re:ARP head studs install
 

They will come with instructions and torque specs. They recommens tightening them more than stock specs.

Just installed mine on my D16z6. Was 60 ft/lbs.

Re:ARP head studs install
 

I use locktite, and torque the studs in to 10 ft lbs, i do that on every stud install because ive had issues where studs will spin with the nuts. I realize its not reccomended, but it works best 'for me'. 60 ft lbs on a D series... as the above poster said. don't forget to use the lube :)

Make sure the threads inside of the block are really clean and dry. blow them out. They say put the studs in by hand, but I put around a 5-10 ftlb torque on them.

Yeah make sure it's clean in there.
I made that mistake...:(
Bolt ate up the threads in the block

Re:ARP head studs install
 

I just did mine the other night on my B16. 65ft/lbs and I torqued them into the block a little with an allen wrench.

Re:ARP head studs install
 

the instructions on mine say 20 ftlbs had to put two nuts on each bolt to make one a jam nut and then used the torque wrench.
