This guy knows his ****.

 

zmans right, i did 72 on my gsr with moly just for assurance, no problems. this is a high compression jdm gsr with .043" thick cometic hg and ive been runnin 10psi daily for 3.5 months now. stil strong

 

If you buy the ARP's new, there will be a paper in the box telling you what ft pound to torque too. on my d16a6 headstuds, if i remember correctly, was 60ft pounds.

I just picked up some H23 ones and they say to torque them down to 80 ftlbs.

 

The torque specs are right on the box or on a little piece of paper in the box.

 

70ft pounds. Thats what it says on the paper I have for gsr's.

 

*i don't mean to thread jack, but while on the topic of tq specs and arp's,

i know when installing new arp head studs, you should re-tq them after 10 heat cycles or 1000 miles...etc somthing to that effect.

my question is with re-using arp's, after getting my head rebuilt, new hg and put back together, would i need to open it up and re-tq the studs after the 10/1000 cycle? or is re-tq only apply to new headstuds?

*to the OP, the shop who put together my setup used 70ft lbs with moly lube on itr.
