Re:ARP head studs install
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.

Re:ARP head studs install
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 :)

Re:ARP head studs install
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.

Re:ARP head studs install
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.
|
Re:ARP head studs install
I would torque each one to 20 lb-ft, then 40, then to 60.
60 is the spec if you use the included moly lube or 70 if you use 30w oil. |
Re:ARP head studs install
Like Jeff said, make sure they are clean...some run a tap down through all of the holes to clean the threads of priot locktite and dirt. Makes it easy.
