Arp installation (LSVTEC) Help
So i did some research on the lsv torque specs and some say 20 40 65 because i guess 80 ft/lbs is too much although its recommended. I followed the sequence for torquing but there would be some bolts that would not fit snug with the socket, as if it were stripping. Seems that the studs were not hand tight enough? not sure how to explain it. So i applied threadlock to the studs (only the ones that would come off from the moly) and waited a day to let it settle. Next day i started the 20 40 65 sequence and some bolts AGAIN wont fit snug (like it was stripping) or it wouldnt catch grip so i cant torque it down. Please HELP!!! im trying to swap ASAP
I'm assuming your talking about head studs. The stud should thread into the block by hand with an allen wrech. Sounds like you didn't thread them in all the way and you stripped the threads on the block when you torqued them. You need to make sure you are using a 12 point socket. Also, you need to make sure the studs are for a gsr so they are not too short.
