Default How to install ARP Head Stud Kit

What's the correct way of installing the kit? The Torque given in the manual is 81NM. Should I still torque them up in 4 stages like the standard bolts?

What settings should then be used?

Should I use engine oil or special lubricant for better friction and where do I have to put it

first you should clean the theards

then put on each of the studs some lub an tight them to the block by hand ONLY!! until they wont turn any more

then fit the head and put some lub on the upper therd and fit the washers and the nuts then tourq them to 65 lb/ft

FOR BEST RESULTS USE ONLY!!! THE ARP LUB

hope that i helped
