I'm about to reassemble my B18A1 right now, but I don't have the assembly lube for the headstuds. What else could I use? I know it's a moly based lube, so could I just use regular stuff, or should I just buy the arp stuff?

 

regular oil works just fine too

 

ARP should have alternate torque settings for regular oil, as well as their moly. You have to torque things a bit "more," because there is more friction with regular oil than the moly lube.

 

torque em to 60 and dont worry about it.

jd is a ------

 

jf is a frenchie

 

do arps stretch at all?

 

No.

 

They do if you grossly overtorque them. Then, they have to be thrown away.

 

damn, that would be some hella torque. Jo, looks like I'll be stickin with the same setup for a while.....hopefully get those gsr cams and bigger intercooler in soon though...by soon I mean within 5 months. lol, damn I'm broke.

 

I've never even used that stuff.

I think any anti-corrosion compound would do just the same thing.
