ok im installing ARP head studs on my b20 now my ? is do I have to trq them down on to the block? or just screw them in hand tight?

SpeedingHatch

lube them up, and turn the screws into the block hand tight. Then torque down the bolts in increments.

ok so just trq them down with the head in the proper sequence rit

I usually lube them and install them by hand all the way down, then tighten them down 1/4 turn with an allan wrench.

Do all Bseries ARP head studs have the same torque spec?

Does it matter if its their second use?

Should say on the pink slip in the box. I think its like 70 with the supplied lube or 80 with 10w30 oil.

My AEBS headstuds said to torqe them down to 10lbs with an allen wrench when installing them in the block. ARP could be different though.

EARLdaSQUIRREL

dont lube the bottom threads, tq down to 10 ft lbs with allen wrench*hand tight* make sure you clean up all the threads before even doin this, then install head, lube top threads and tq to 70 ft lbs

drintegra

do you need to take all of the bolts off or can you replace bolts individually until all are replaced. Trying to not take off the head.
