i have d16z6 headstuds and was wondering how to lubricate it. I do not have the arp moly lube, are there any alternatives i.e. different kind of moly (lube?), or 30w oil?

if so what would the torque specs be, thanks.

thanks in advance, i also have already searched and didn't find a definite answer on this.

 

I always lube my headstuds before installing them, i usually just use any 30w i have alu=yin around. It ensures you get an acurate torque. As for your torque specs, as soon as i find my chilton, i'll post em for ya.

 

hehe oops, i didnt install mine today with lube. I dont think it will hurt. Torque spec for arp is 72 pounds.

Aren't you suppose to use the Moly lube that it comes with?

 

mine did not come with any :X it was not a brand new set. What are the negative effects without moly or some sort of lube?

 

if you dont use lube you will not get the proper torque. Moly lube is available at any auto parts store, pepboys, autozone and others.

 

so will I be ok with 30w oil and ~70 ft. lbs.?

there are tq specs for moly lube and for 30wt oil when you use ARP's. I use 30wt oil and tq mine 85lbs.

 

You lube both sides of the stud, correct?
