ARP's stuff is on backorder till Sep. 14th. Is moly lube the next best? This is for torquing head studs and girdle bolts.

 

30 wt oil. there is a different torque spec for 30 wt tho.

 

Torco assembly lube.

 

All of ARP's torque specs mention ARP lube or 30wt.

 

KY! Oh wait, bolt lube.. Torco makes some good stuff too..

 

ARP lube is moly based, so I personally would stick with that. It provides much more accurace vs. 30wt, but ARP provides specs for 30wt as well, so why not use that?

 

I would think that any moly lube you buy at the auto parts store is basically the same as the moly ARP sends you.

How different can it really be ?

We use a moly lube at work for nut's we torque to 600ftlbs.

FWIW; Here's a link to it;

KY lol

 

Ionly came on this thred to write what you just wrote hahahaha

 

I only came in this thread because I wanted to see how many people already posted that lol

 

i know its a little bit of a drive, but i have a ton of that crap if your in a bind.

 

you wanna throw some in the mail to me? i'll give you some paypal.

 

fastener lube like they send with head studs?

i use anti sieze. ..

 

yeah. and what torque value do you use?

 

arp torque spec (same number as if i were using their rebadged ****)

 

lol i guess i'll just do that.

 

ive been doing it for probably 8 years now and never had bad results from it.

 

After all these ? about lube , I hope you have a torque wrench capable of getting the job done right. Cuase none of this matters when your using junk tools. You could over or under torque by 20lbs with a junk craftsman manuel wrench.

 

dont **** with my craftsmen,, sally !!

 

****, I bet your strap-on or matcos arent within 10 if you havent had it calibrated recently.

 

Pep boys sells a moly lube, you can use.

 

sorry bout ya luck playboys, i'm using a less than 1 year old snap-on
