I had the machine shop re-thread my block to take a 1" head stud, now that I have the arp's in, what should I torque the head down too? The machine shop said to torque them to factory specs. Just seems incorrect, what do you guys think?

 

1" Head studs? not 1/2" head studs?

1/2" use 90-100 ft. pounds

 

jesus 1" bolts...never ever heard of them ive seen 1/2" studs but not 1"

 

Oh my god, I dont know what I was thinking....I meant 1/2" studs...sorry

So you think 90-100 pounds really?
