arp head studs
hey,
got the head resurfaced, and im ready to install the new arp head studs. they say 60 ft pnds on the torque on the nuts, with their lube. they dont say anything about the studs themselves they have an allen wrench thing for installation but they dont have a torque setting, or sequence. do you just bottom out the studs in the block? do you use lock-tite? do you torque the nuts to 60ft lbs or more? i heard more a long time ago i thought not sure. thanks guys. this is on a d16y8

Re: arp head studs
You should bottom the studs out. If your holes are clean, you can do this by hand. If there's a little bit of ---- in there, you'd have to use the alan key to get it all the way down. But you don't really wanna do that with ---- in the holes.
What I like to do is bottom out the stud, and then apply maybe 5 ft-lbs of torque to it. Just the way I do it and it works fine.
