What are the head stud torque spec for a ls motor?

 

ARP's or stock you could have easily GOOGLE'd "integra torque specs" and it is the first thing that shows up.

Torque in steps: 22ft-lbs (264in-lbs), Then to 63ft-lbs (756in-lbs) (final spec) remember to do the correct pattern.

 

i like to do arp's in 3 steps, with the final step being somewhere between 70-80ftlbs depending on n/a or f/i. something like 20-40-70. just make sure the jump for the last step is greater than the increase between the other steps or you run the risk of spinning the stud in the hole a bit

 

I gave him the OEM spec, even on my stock head bolts I like to do 3 steps.

 

iirc the 3rd/final step for ARPs were 85 for my LS

 

The Haynes manual is a must for any one with a car they work on it's only $20 ! Better than flooding the forum with these questions that are easily answered by opening a manual or using the worlds best resource, google.

 

get a haynes for 9 lousy bucks here:

or:

If you're doing any sort of work the haynes is only a step up from useless. I suggest getting a copy of the factory service manual. You can find them online for free but buying an actual hard copy is well worth the money and much more convenient.

 

Interesting please elaborate why the Haynes manual is close to useless and why he should opt for the factory Manual ? The op would of found his torque spec he needed and much more useful info.

 

I have several reasons why the haynes is imo "just a step up from useless"

-haynes has far less information. My FSM is at least 4x the size of the haynes
-haynes often covers more than one vehicle (nothing more frustrating than seeing pictures of a completely different vehicle being used to illustrate a procedure)
-haynes is often missing steps when compared against the FSM
-haynes has poor quality, black and white photos that look like they were taken in the 60s
-haynes lacks exploded parts diagrams, fastener thread pitch/size information, helpful troubleshooing flowcharts and much more

The FSM is just more useful in every way. When you're tackling any project you're unfamiliar with, proper information is the most important tool you can have. Just my advice, OP can take it or leave it. I personally haven't even opened a haynes/chilton once since purchasing the FSM.

 

I hear what your saying but for "basic" information those manuals are pretty good for the average joe. Its probrablly more convenient to get one of those than a FSM but i wont disagree with your answer but at the end of the day that shitty manual would of solved ops answer instead of waiting for a answer on a forum or finding it using a search engine like google.

Op im not one to bash people here but asking basic questions that you could easily find by searching doesnt go well with members on this sight, iv learned the hard way so dont get discouraged when you want to ask a question we just ask to research for your self and if you cant find a answer theres allot of very smart members here that can and will help you.

 

Yeah for really basic stuff they can be helpful. If you're gonna shell out anything for a manual though I was just suggesting the FSM because its worlds ahead of the cheaper manuals without being significantly more expensive. I think we're on the same page. I was just throwing my .02 out there

 

I'm wondering if you can download the FSM or if theres a site that has it so you can download it.

 

Yes you can, I believe tamboo posted a link didn't he? I didn't follow it because I'm on my phone and didn't want to start downloading some huge pdf accidentally.

 

lol totally missed his second link

 

dont tell RonJ or he'll spank my *** again lol.
