Read the instructions. It's like 70-something with lube.

 

if i had the instructions i would. i bought the motor with them in it already. i know that u have to use the molly compound on the threads(thats what arp recomends) and i i was just wondering if anyone would have the speqcs and would help a felow H-T member out.
thanx

 

i am not sure exactly what the specs are but we were torqing my arp head studs down we did not feel comfortable going much more than 65 ft lbs i dont think you are supposed to go much farther than that anyways good luck..

 

80ft lbs

 

Then retorc after 100 miles

Yea I kinda fell asleep when I came to the dates thought I hit newest lmao

 

My friend, Shoji Shingo told me that his OEM bolts are 22 ft-lbs then 63ft-lbs. When I had ARPs back in my Honda days before I bought my 86, I torqued them down to 80ft-lbs (first to ~30 ft-lbs).

HTH
Happy Drifting!
