I kinda was thinking about maybe doing 77ft-lbs like someone recommended earlier in the post.. Whats best? Moly lube or regular motor oil?

Sounds like a scary moment I'd be kicking myself in the ***! Nice trick with the nail and epoxy, that stuff will hold anything.

My method is:
double nut method putting studs into block... finger tight, then torque to 10ft-lbs... slap head on, and torque in sequence 22ft-lbs first time around, then the final (??????)..
Chiltons manual says 96+ OEM B18C5 head studs are torqued to 63ft-lbs, is this the same with the ARP's?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Here's how I torqued my ARP's.
It may be overkill, but who gives a ****?
Hand-tight to get the studs in the block.
Then when the head was on, 14 ft./lbs. in the proper sequence.
Then 20 ft./lbs.
Then 40 ft./lbs.
Then 65 ft./lbs. (using ARP lube)
Then 65 ft./lbs. again.
I have not retorqued after about 700 miles, I really should though.
*knock on wood*
