glad i read this thread coz im fitting my stud and nut kit tommorow and wondered the same question about torque settings and washers.

well ive already torqued the head down

will this affect it if i undo one at a time and re torqued them

oh arp say use a moly based lube and torque to 105lbs if not using there lube

lammylama

well im gonna use the lube supplied with the kit so whats the torque setting for that??? and also do you use the lube to screw the studs into the block as well as on the nuts??

xr4x4rs

no just the nuts

lammylama

so do you just wind the studs into the block hand tight then torque the head down with the one torque setting.....as you have probably gathered, i havent read the instructions yet

There was a thread on here only a couple of months ago with a link to an ARP website that said IIRC that the nuts should be tightened and loosened 5 times (to wear off any burrs on the threads?) before final assembly. If you're fitting these in the near future it may be worth your while finding the thread and clarifying how these need to be tightened correctly.

if you have the insructions then read them mate

they say only use loctite if they are going to be permantly in the block
