the head studs have been used twice before so they may be stretched a little

but anyways, what are the torque specs for the GSR motor? i believe it is around 71ft/lbs but I am not sure

and what size is the 12-point nut at the end?

 

bump

 

I think that nut is 1/2 imperial...

tq spec is 72, I never go over 65. I have reused mine 4 times so far...

 

1/2" 12pt.

I TQ'd mine to 65ft.lbs. Just as the instructions said.. using their moly lube.

 

i dont have any lube, got them used for free

i always thought it was 70ft/lbs

 

I torqued mine down to 70 with the ARP lube.

The lube gives you an accurate torque reading. If ARP says to torque something xxft/lbs using their lube, use their lube. Some people say that all it is, is Moly.. but ARP says otherwise.

I lube everything I torque.

 

i wish i had some

I have some redline racing assembly lubericant, do you think that will work properly?

That is for bearings, cams, etc..

Stop by some local performance shops, most of the time shops have shitloads of the stuff.

 

Use 30wt oil and TQ to 70ft/lbs if you have no ARP moly lube.

 

for sure, thanks guys
