about to install my head and got some questions about the the bolts/studs. it's stock gsr with new oem head gasket. searched and getting mixed responses on how to install them. i got the arp's were it has the allen/hex on the top of the stud. i found a bunch of ways people do it just making sure...
first lube the threads, nuts and washers with the arp moly lube, screw the studs into the block "hand tight only"? then put the head gasket(w/copper spray) and head on...now for torquing it...

Step 1 - 25 ft/lb
Step 2 - 45 ft/lb
Step 3- 65 ft/lb
-------------------------------
Step 4- 70 ft/lb? Some say to do it to 70 some say 65? Intructions say both too...

Do I need to keep applying lube while torquing them down? What do people mean when the say to "double nut" when installing them?

 

go by wat the instructions say, wat ever it is with the moly lube, only apply lube once, and double nut is when you put 2 nuts on one stud, thefirst nut stops the second nut from moving making it easier toput the stud in, there is no need for this

 

no need for copper spray
