Hey fellas im running ARP head studs on my gsr turbo, and i have them down in there finger tight, does anyone know the torque settings for these *******? No rush im just wondering so i can have it when i put my car back together. thanks

 

i tq mine 82ft lbs with 30wt oil.

 

Moly lube 65ft-lbs due to it being an aluminum head, 30 weight 70ft-lbs per instructions. BUt I have heard that ARP has told people 70 with moly lube too.

 

haha so between 82-65 and 70, lol good deal that got me pretty close i will just kinda go inbetween, thanks guys

 

i'm not sure if there is a right or wrong answer. i guess its just what works for you. i have done mine at 82 always w/o any issues.

Well just some insight on this Mike is the 82ft-lbs figure comes from Golden Eagle and Golden Eagle only has ever recommended this and with their blocks. I haven;t and I could be worng hearing of others torquing the head studs that much. Like I said I could be wrong but GE is the only people I have heard recommending this figure. I trusted them before and torqued my ARP studs to that with my GE block, unfortunately the studs weren't the problem.

 

yeah, i understand but the thing is regardless of sleeves the aluminum head is not GE, the aluminum block is not GE. I dont see the difference on a darton block running 30psi. It's one of those things. if it aint broke dont fix it. i have had no issues with warping heads,blown headgaskets,stretched studs,head lifting under boost or anything at all at 82ftlbs with oil.

 

ive always done 75 jsut becuase i have seen people strip blocks out and i really dont want that to happen. Im sure it doesnt happen till like 100 but 75 doesnt loose the gasket.

If you want to torque higher, use bigger head studs.

Which is why you can go to the AEBS head studs which are 5% larger than ARP

You can't put Mustang products on Hondas DUH! Yeah I have heard of people running som ebig studs from another make before so it's the Mustangs then for the studs? Also MR2 guys I think use DSM ARP studs with success or something like that, they were talking about it Abacus Racing before.
