ARP head stud question (with cometic head gasket)
I have a B18b1 block with ARP head studs and a custom Cometic head gasket, my question is what should I torque the head studs down to?

Re: ARP head stud question (infamousRRH)
when i installed ARP studs on my B18C1 motor the instructions said to install them hand tight with the supplied ARP lube. i installed them hand tight using a rag/cloth for the most grip, with the lube of course. i also used a stock sized Cometic HG. everything's working fine. hope this helps.

Re: ARP head stud question (Shft@9GSR)
got that but now I need to torque the head down... do I torque stock specifications? or do I do what arp wants torqued?
edit- called arp and they told me 65 lbs on the head with moly lube.

Re: ARP head stud question (infamousRRH)
do what ARP says since you are using their studs. i talked to them when i did my buildup and they explained that the torque specs are different because of the stud material and the lube that is used. so i just followed what they said and i haven't had any problems yet.
