Ok I installed my stud...

in the ARP package, on a instruction sheet, they tell to torque to 60 pounds is that too much compare to the 53 pounds that Honda recommand ??

I torqued the 10 nuts to 60 pounds and it seem to be border line a little bit they way I feel it...

I used the ARP gray lube...

Thank

Mr. Stripbolt ( It always happens to me )

I've always torqued to the ARP spec..... you have to remember that these studs are a much harder material than stock.... so it should be expected to have a larger torque load..... 7 more lb ft isn't a lot anyway, my studs were something like 18lb ft higher than stock, which they were torqued to.... haven't had a problem

always torque to the specifications of the manufacturing companies bolt.

Your should always do that.

When we installed arp's into my friends d16y8 we followed the manufacturers specifications.

but we also ran a tap through each hole to make sure each one was clean

any thoughts on dropping a small ball bearing so the stud doesnt bottom out(ie make ARPs like aebs design)?

You need to go by ARP's specs, I went by honda's and blew a head gasket a week later @ 18 PSI, then didn't learn, and blew another one. Finally torqued to ARP's specs havent had a problem since. The machine shop also recommended to use arp's specs.
