Default Just got ARP studs and Nippon headgasket... need help

Ok i just my order in from Prostreetonline (BTW awesome shipping and service) i ordered the Headgasket and ARP headstuds from them.
My Headgasket is the Nippon brand. is that the oem brand? and do i use copper spray on this or no?

With the ARP's i was wondering do i torqe it to 70 ft lbs or 65 ft lbs? also do i put ARP moly lube on both ends of the stud?
On my ARP studs it says

Preload (Torqe) Recommendations
a) Torqe values are based on 75% of the fasteners yeild strength. Use the manufatures torqe sequence but do not use the engine manufactures torqe specs. Torqe the nuts to 70 Ft lbs for APR moly Lube or Torqe to 85 ftlbs with 30w motor oil

B) Due to the expansion rate of aluminum. i is recommended that the torqe should be 65 ft lbs with ARP moly lube

As far as the gasket goes, I don't know. Someone will know though.

For the studs, I would say since since your block is aluminum you should choose B. Don't take my word for it though. That is just what I would do. After I called ARP though. The make kick *** pieces though.

Here is a free bump for you.

Do what honda tells you to do. Honda say's clean the mating surface and bolt it together in the right order. No copper gasket spray or any of that other crap. I've read about the copper spray stuff too. Honda builds a motor that will go 200K miles without it. Why try to improve on near perfection?

I'd read both the manual AND the instructions on the studs. The torque on the studs is higher than with bolts.
