hey wassup guys, my friends gonna go turbo in his LSVtec and we put arp head studs in there and torque to 65ft lbs. is that ok? the studs were used once on a different motor, dont kno how much pound was torqued the first time, but what do u guys usually torque yours to or what should i torque it to to not blow the headgasket? please only answer if u have done this before thanks.

 

there is a sequence you need to follow when torquing the studs down.. it can be found with a little searching. check ARP's site.

or find the part # and call them for the specs your looking for.

i think its 80ft/lbs but im using a different set.

 

should be torqued to about 80-85 with 30W oil and I believe 65-70 with Moly lube
